Summer breakdown: Defensive line could be headed toward dominant season

Clemson's defensive line should once again be one of the nation's best, with Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins clogging the middle and Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant on the outside. In the first of a series of fall camp previews, Daniel Shirley takes a look at that position.

Starters on summer depth chart: Clelin Ferrell (Soph., DE); Austin Bryant (Jr., DE); Dexter Lawrence (Soph., DT); Christian Wilkins (Jr., DT).

The breakdown: That first group could lead this defensive line to one of the best seasons in Clemson history, and if you know anything about Clemson’s defensive line history, you know that is saying something.
