Clemson lands a good one for 2011 Class

Clemson has received the commitment of rising junior DeShaun Williams of Central Daniel High today, according to CUTigers.com.

The website said Williams, a 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive lineman, was offered the scholarship--his first--earlier this week, and made the decision final in the past 24 hours.

It was his first official scholarship offer.

“There have been so many colleges expressing interest in me lately,” Williams said recently. “Schools like Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee, Oregon, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Louisville, just to name a few.

“A lot of schools have been inviting me up to their campus to check them out.”

CUTigers said that Williams finished his sophomore campaign with 87 tackles, including nine for loss and seven sacks.

That's a commitment that's certainly not worth the paper it's not actually written on. He verbals on his first offer two years before he's allowed to sign?

You're right in that there's no guarantee it will hold up once everyone in the world starts recruiting him...

He is the son of Clemson running back Ronald Williams, 1990 ACC Rookie of the Year. It'll probably hold up.
