Clemson’s quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, has displayed exceptional talent and skill during the national championship game, marking his impact not just in that game but throughout his impressive freshman season.
Many first-year players like Lawrence have been thrust into the limelight to assist their teams in securing victories. With the recruitment signing period concluded, numerous football players have stated their intentions regarding the NFL draft, addressing team needs and potential solutions.
Following Lawrence’s standout season, the 2019 recruiting class boasts several names capable of similar success, albeit perhaps not on the same level. Clemson faces significant losses in their defensive line, including key players like Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, and Dexter Lawrence, who have moved on.
However, the team has secured defensive talent with the signings of Xavier Thomas, K.J. Henry, ESPN’s Justin Mascoll, and Darnell Jefferies to bolster the defensive line. While Thomas and Henry bring strength to the end position, addressing interior gaps remains a challenge.
One prospect, Davis, stands out as a promising addition, ranking as the seventh-best defensive tackle in 2019 at 6’2″ and 293 pounds. Davis shows potential for early contributions to Clemson’s defensive line.
