Continuing our countdown for the 2023 football season, we look at No. 90. The season kicks off on the road at Duke Sept. 4.

The Past No. 90

A name very familiar to young fans and NFL addicts, Dexter Lawrence was one of the best players on the Tigers’ two national championship teams in the 2010s. While he’s a nose tackle so the naked eye might not see as much play-by-play, he drew double teams almost every snap at Clemson. A two-time national champion, two-time first-team All-ACC player, he was the catalyst up front for defensive success. This hasn’t changed in the NFL, where he earned second-team All-Pro honors for the New York Giants last season.

The Current No. 90

Stephiylan Green is a freshman just joining the program for the Tigers. A four-star defensive lineman out of Georgia, he contributed 68 tackles and 10 sacks in his senior season at Rome High School. Now, he looks to bring that success to Clemson.
