Over the last two seasons, no tandem of bookends in college football were more dominant than Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant.
The two combined for 67.5 tackles for loss and 37.5 sacks as they terrorized opposing quarterbacks and running backs in the backfield.
Ferrell became the first Clemson player since 1982, and just the second all-time, to be named a First-Team Associated Press All-American two straight years. Bryant was a First-Team All-American in 2017 and was an All-ACC performer in each of the last two seasons.
“The bar has been set,” defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall said.
