Justin Foster is not the only Clemson player who decided to retire from playing football.
Offensive lineman Blake Vinson is also hanging up his cleats. However, the difference is Vinson has decided to stay on at Clemson and will be a student coach this coming season.
Foster, an All-ACC caliber defensive end, decided to leave the Clemson Football program to pursue his chosen career. Foster gave up football due to more complications with his asthma and allergies, brought on after he contracted the coronavirus last summer.
As for Vinson, Swinney said the graduate student could not get over the hump when it came to his injuries.
