A former Clemson and NFL defensive lineman has reportedly landed a coaching job at Oklahoma.
DeShawn Williams is joining former Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables’ staff at Oklahoma in an analyst role, according to SoonerScoop.com.
A former Daniel High School standout, Williams played at Clemson from 2011-14, racking up 161 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, 24 quarterback pressures, four pass breakups, one fumble recovery and two blocked kicks over 53 games (17 starts) in his career as a Tiger. He played under Venables for three years from 2012-14.
Originally an undrafted free agent in 2015, Williams spent time with the Bengals, Dolphins, Colts, Bills and Calgary Stampeders of the CFL, to go along with three stints with the Broncos and a couple of stints with the Panthers.
