Ray Williams Williams was an electrifying high school football player at Reid Ross High School under the coaching of fellow Hall of Famer John Daskal. In 1981, Williams led the Cougars to the state's first NCHSAA Division II football title with a 21-7 win over High Point Central. A football and baseball star coming out of Reid Ross, Williams enrolled at Clemson where he as a start in both sports for the Tigers. He turned down an offer to play at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill because the Tar Heels wouldn't allow him to play football and baseball. After a red-shirt season, Williams became a starter in both football and baseball for the Tigers. In football, he became one of only six Tigers with at least 1,000 yards receiving and 1,000 yards in kickoff returns. In baseball, Williams is one of only two Clemson players with at least 30 home runs and 70 stolen bases. He had brief stints in Major League Baseball and the NFL, playing for the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Browns. Williams died from complications of diabetes last July after receiving a liver transplant in 2016. Four years before his death he created a foundation encouraging people to donate organs.
