CLELIN FERRELL DE Clemson
Coming off an All-ACC season
performance where he racked up 66
tackles last season, including an
outstanding 18.0 tackles for loss and
9.5 sacks, Ferrell looks to improve off
those numbers and potentially cement
himself as a first-round pick in next
year’s draft.

CHRISTIAN WILKINS DT Clemson
Wilkins, a two time All-American
chose to come back for his senior
season to try to bring Clemson
another title. Wilkins is a unique
athlete, even playing some offense
for Clemson. He finished the 2017
season with 55 tackles, 8.5 tackles
for loss and 4.5 sacks. In a JJ Watt-like
fashion, the playmaking defensive
tackle has racked up 15 pass
deflections in the past two seasons,
a record for Clemson linemen.
JOE GILES–HARRIS LB Duke
Giles-Harris earned multiple
All-American honors a year ago
during a season in which he piled
up 125 tackles, 16 tackles for loss,
4.5 sacks, an interception, a forced
fumble and four pass breakups, with
only seven missed tackles all year,
thus ranking him third among all
linebackers nationally.
