3. That defensive front will be nasty

We’ve already talked about big Dexter Lawrence, but there are so many other talented guys that will play on the defensive front this season for Clemson football. Here is a list of some names you very well may have forgotten while you were star-gazing.

Dexter Lawrence, DT
Christian Wilkins, DT/DE
Carlos Watkins, DT
Scott Pagano, DT
Austin Bryant, DE
Clelin Ferrell, DE
Albert Huggins, DT

Just to name a few.

If you have any doubts about the defensive front for Clemson football this season, I don’t know who you are looking at.

The Tigers may have some problems in the secondary and the linebackers, outside of Ben Boulware, may be unproven, but the defensive line will have a push on opposing offensive lines that will create problems for in the run-game and the passing game this year.
