Clemson has no shortage of talent at the wide receiver position, but where does the Tigers’ receiving corps stand among the top units in the country?

CBS Sports recently ranked the top five wide receiver rooms in college football ahead of the 2025 season. As CBS Sports’ Will Backus noted, “few positions are as valuable as wide receiver in modern college football,” especially “given the proliferation of passing attacks” in today’s game.

CBS Sports says defending national champion Ohio State “clearly reigns supreme” as college football’s top wide receiver room. But Clemson is ranked No. 2 behind the Buckeyes.

For Clemson at receiver, it all starts with the big three – Antonio Williams, Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore. Williams, who could have easily left for the NFL, will enter next season with several school records within his grasp. Wesco and Moore both proved their worth as freshmen, and those two are only going to get better the more they play.

Add in a healthy Tyler Brown, transfer Tristan Smith, and Cole Turner, who has carved out a role as a complimentary piece, and the Tigers boast a receiver room that certainly figures to be one of the nation’s best.

Here’s what Backus wrote about Clemson’s receiving corps entering the 2025 campaign:

“Clemson is working its way back into the “WRU” conversation. Dabo Swinney has completely reversed the position’s downturn from recent years. The 5-foot-11 Antonio Williams provides a veteran hand for a young, but extremely talented, group. Williams led the ACC with 11 touchdowns last season while establishing great rapport with Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik. In fact, Clemson returns all three of its leading receivers from the 2024 season.

“Williams will be flanked on the outside by Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore, a pair of sophomores that — like so many wide receivers included in this list — ranked highly in the 2024 class. The two combined for 1,359 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. Wesco, in particular, deserves more recognition among second-year receivers. Though Clemson has to replace standout tight end Jake Briningstool, Olsen Patt-Henry caught three touchdown passes last season and seems ready for a featured role.”

Alabama and Auburn are ranked behind Clemson, while Clemson’s season-opening opponent, LSU, rounds out CBS Sports’ list of college football’s top WR rooms going into the upcoming season.

“LSU has a lot of moving pieces in its wide receiver room, so it will be interesting to see how it all comes together,” Backus wrote. “Still, there’s no denying the talent and potential. The Tigers know they can rely on Aaron Anderson, who led the team last season with 61 catches for 884 yards and five touchdowns. Zavion Thomas and Chris Hilton Jr. are also back, though their opportunities are likely limited by the transfers coming to Baton Rouge in 2025.

“Former Oklahoma star Nic Anderson is a complete receiver. He did miss almost the entire 2024 season with an upper body injury, but if fully healthy he should push for 1,000 yards with Garrett Nussmeier slinging the rock. Barion Brown is an absolute burner from Kentucky. Though his production dropped off last season due to lackluster quarterback play from the Wildcats, he had 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns in his first two years at the collegiate level. Keep an eye on former two-sport athlete Trey’Dez Green, who also played basketball for the Tigers before stepping away to focus on football, as a breakout candidate at the tight end spot. Standing at 6-foot-7, he’s hard to miss.”
