2. Albert Huggins

Here’s a guy that has been overshadowed his entire career.

Albert Huggins, a senior, will finally be getting the amount of snaps that he deserves this coming season.

Huggins is a very talented defensive tackle that has waited his turn over the years at Clemson. This season, he will be a co-starter with Dexter Lawrence.

Basically, you’re going to see Huggins rotate with Christian Wilkins and Lawrence at defensive tackle.

That means that he will have the amount of snaps that he needs, not just to be noticed by the scouts, but to be noticed by the fans.

Huggins is, without a doubt, an emerging star. He’s going to get more playing time than ever and I think that bodes well for his name becoming another popular one when people mention Clemson football this season.
