CLEMSON — Coming into the 2025 season all everyone talked about was how great of a defensive line Clemson was going to have.
On paper, it is easy to see why.
The Tigers brought back potential top 10 picks in T.J. Parker at defensive end and Peter Woods at defensive tackle. They went to the transfer portal, really for the first time, and brought in defensive end Will Heldt from Purdue. DeMonte Capehart was back for one more season at defensive tackle, plus up-and-comers such as Stephiylan Green and Jahiem Lawson.
The possibility seemed endless on how good they could be.
