Clemson’s elite junior day is proving to be elite.

The Tigers added their second pledge of the day Saturday when Washington (D.C.) St. John’s College four-star defensive tackle Tre Williams announced his decision.

Williams (6-3, 290), ranked No. 162 nationally by Rivals.com, picked the Tigers over Ohio State, Penn State and Georgia. Williams claimed 28 offers altogether.

"It was just the atmosphere, the love, and everything," Williams told Rivals.com Regional Analyst Adam Friedman. "It's just the best fit for me.

"The way they've developed interior defensive linemen played a big part. The players that have played here love it.

"The coaches want to use me over over, like the way they used Christian Wilkins. That's who the coaches have been comparing me to."

He visited Clemson for a game during the fall and told TigerIllustrated.com that Clemson had moved into his top two along with an unspecified team we believed to be Ohio State.

Williams becomes the seventh member of the Tigers’ 2020 recruiting class, six of which are rated four-stars or higher by Rivals.com.

He transferred to St. John’s College from a Connecticut private school, which is also where Clemson secured the likes of departing star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

Clemson formalized its offer to Williams in March.

He attended Saturday’s junior day along with four-star cornerback teammate Luke Hill.
