Though Justin Foster would not say this year’s defensive line can be as good as Clemson’s 2018 group, he said there is one area in which they do have an edge.
The redshirt junior, who is returning to football after missing all of last year due to complications from COVID-19, says this year’s group of defensive ends are deeper than they were during the Tigers’ national championship run three years ago.
“I feel like we have more depth than them overall,” he said.
Foster should know. He was a sophomore on the 2018 team, playing in all 15 games while recording 17 tackles, six tackles for loss and two sacks.
