5. Justin Foster

Out of all the defensive ends, Justin Foster is certainly one of the most intriguing.

While we all rave over the skillset of Xavier Thomas and the potential and upside of KJ Henry, Foster has a chance to be really good as well.

Foster came into Clemson as a 4-star and No. 11 defensive end in the nation. He’s had a couple of years to learn under the directorship of Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant and now it’s time for him to step up as a junior.

Foster has the potential to be a leader in that defensive end room and could be a really solid option for the Tigers in 2019.
