A Clemson signee has been named an MVP for one of South Carolina’s high school all-star games.

Three-star in-state DE Michael Foster (Indian Land) earned defensive MVP honors for the winning North team in the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl. Foster was very disruptive what he was on the field and also blocked a punt.

The annual all-star game features some of the top seniors in the state. Foster was also one of two captains for the North squad.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound recruit, who originally committed to ECU, was credited with 140 tackles, 12.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and four pass breakups during his senior season. He earned 5A/4A Tri-County Defensive Player of the Year for 2025 from coaches in York, Lancaster and Chester counties and was recently named Region 3-AAAAA Defensive Player of the Year.

Per the game’s official website:

This all-star football game began in 1947 as part of the state coaches clinic in Columbia. The game was played in the summer for many years and was played in many locations. Columbia, Easley, Clinton and Summerville have all hosted this great annual showcase for high school football.

Over 20 years ago, a group of Myrtle Beach business leaders brought the game to the Grand Strand.

During the last twenty years, the game has grown to be one of the premier high school all-star games in the entire country.
