CLEMSON — Michael Foster was a very late addition to Clemson’s 2026 recruiting class.
The three-star in-state defensive end, out of Indian Land, originally committed to ECU back in May. However, his recruitment really started to heat up in November, when teams like Clemson and West Virginia offered, with several other Power-4 programs also showing genuine interest. However, it was the offer from the Tigers that he found most intriguing.
Foster has camped at Clemson each of the past three summers in an effort to earn one of those hard-to-get offers from the Tigers. It was his dream school.
