CLEMSON — Clemson will be without three key players on Saturday when the eighth-ranked Tigers host Troy.
The school has released the availability report ahead of the 3:30 p.m. matchup and three starters will miss Saturday’s action. S Khalil Barnes, OL Tristan Leigh, OL Easton Ware and WR Antonio Williams are all listed as out.
Clemson will be without senior WR Antonio Williams, who injured a hamstring early in last week’s loss to LSU. Williams led the Tigers with 75 receptions, 904 receiving yards and 11 touchdown catches. All three were career-highs.
Barnes is now in his third year with the Tigers and is also dealing with a hamstring. He originally hurt it during fall camp and reaggravated it in last week’s loss to LSU. Barnes, who was a freshman All-American in 2023, entered 2025 credited with 101 tackles (5.5 for loss), 11 pass breakups, seven interceptions, three forced fumbles, a sack and a fumble recovery, which he returned 42 yards for a touchdown.
Leigh, who has started at LT the past two seasons, is also out. Leigh is in a walking boot during pregame warmups. Freshman Brayden Jacobs is the backup.
