CLEMSON – Brent Venables spent the offseason and the spring not only making sure his defense has improved since last season, but also in making sure that his defensive line gets healthy in time for the season opener against Georgia.
Logan Rudolph quit football before the start of last season, KJ Henry played hurt, Tyler Davis missed time with injuries, Xavier Thomas missed time recovering from COVID, and Justin Foster missed the entire year and decided to retire. That’s a lot of veterans missing time, and getting healthy bodies ready for the season has been a priority.
