Defensive End

Defensive End (1): Vic Beasley

  • Shaq Lawson

Defensive End (2): Da’Quan Bowers

  • Clelin Ferrell

Defensive End has two starting spots- which go to Vic Beasley and Da’Quan Bowers. Beasley is the all-time sack leader under Dabo Swinney and his explosiveness on the edge was something unlike anything we had seen before.

The only defensive end to match that explosiveness may very well be Xavier Thomas, but it’s tough to put him on the team yet since he has officially started a game.

Shaq Lawson and Clelin Ferrell were both first-team All-Americans who were able to set a hard edge as well as get after the passer.
