Clemson Football: 5 returning defensive players who must step up in 2019
5. Justin Foster
Justin Foster is going to be the starter at the defensive end opposite-side Xavier Thomas to start the spring.
He’ll be battling sophomore KJ Henry and I think you’re going to see a lot of both of these guys in 2019.
I think we know what we’re going to get from Thomas, but we really need to see Foster step up and be able to set that hard edge that Austin Bryant was able to set a year ago.
He’s going to be relied upon, not just to be a contributor, but to be a leader on that defensive line this year.
