After coming up short in the national championship game, the expectations are still higher than ever and with spring practice kicking off in just over a week, it’s time to take a look at where Clemson stands position by position.
The Clemson defensive line has only two departures, in Logan Rudolph, who is chasing a Hollywood dream, and Xavier Kelly, who transfered to Arkansas. The line has three highly-rated newcomers on campus this spring to bolster competition.
Four starters are back, with Xavier Thomas and Justin Foster on the ends and defensive tackles Nyles Pinckney and Tyler Davis on the interior (Pinckney out this spring recovering from injury).
