10. Dexter Lawrence is all he has been cracked up to be

We start off here with an observation of a true-freshman, a man-child named Dexter Lawrence.

As soon as Lawrence committed to Clemson, he had Tiger football fans dreaming of immovable forces and dominant defensive lines. Well, he has not disappointed.

Lawrence did not have a huge day at the spring game (he finished the day with one “sack”), he looked really good in doing so. Sometimes, I think he still comes in with his pad-level too high, but is without a doubt an immovable object and will be a force to be reckoned with this fall.

The most impressive thing to me is his size. He towers over linemen and is a legitimate 340+ lb guy. It will be interesting to see how he progresses over the summer, but I expect big things from Dexter Lawrence as early as next season.
