Clemson Tigers Roster Update: Notes on the Full Travel List for Opener Against Georgia Tech

Clemson announced its 80-man travel roster for tonight’s season opener against Georgia Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Here are a few key notes about the No. 4 Tigers’ personnel heading into the 8 p.m. contest:

• Dabo Swinney announced Wednesday that defensive end Xavier Thomas (foot) and receiver Adam Randall (ACL rehab) were the only two injury-related players out.
• Thomas suffered his injury during the first scrimmage of fall camp but is expected back this month.
• Randall blew out his knee in spring practice but has advanced quickly and could be on the field in September, but no specific timetable has been announced.
• Receiver Beaux Collins suffered a shoulder injury in August and missed a couple of weeks of practice but, he’s available to play against the Yellow Jackets.
• E.J. Williams, who also sat out of several fall camp practices with a back bruise, should play tonight.
• Defensive tackle Tré Williams is healthy and expected to be in the rotation at a deep position tonight. He suffered a weight-room injury in early August that required minor surgery.
• Clemson carried two freshmen cornerbacks to Atlanta: Toriano Pride Jr . and Jeadyn Lucas.
• Freshman safety Sherrod Covil made the trip and should see his first action of the season.
• Freshman WR Antonio Williams is suiting up and will likely be in the rotation in the slot behind starter Brannon Spector.
• Clemson carried all five quarterbacks and five running backs, including freshman Keith Adams Jr., to Atlanta.
