Spring Preview: Tigers loaded with talent at defensive end

Last month, Logan Rudolph left the Clemson football program to pursue an acting career. He alternated as a starter with Xavier Thomas and Justin Foster at strongside and weakside defensive end in 2019. He played in all 15 games and started nine of them.

What does Rudolph’s departure mean for the Tigers in 2020?

It hurts a little, since Rudolph did start nine games last season and played in 31 overall in his career. But overall, Clemson is still in good shape at defensive end. Foster started 13 games there last year and played in all 15, while Thomas started eight and played in 12.
