Clemson Tigers' Justin Foster retires from football, citing issues with asthma, COVID-19


Clemson defensive end Justin Foster announced his retirement Wednesday, saying that a combination of asthma, allergies and COVID-19 have made it impossible for him to return to the field.

"The decision came after months of recovery and treatment, which required asking a lot of difficult questions about my future," Foster, a senior, wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. "While I still have a way to go, I feel confident I will fully recover."


Foster is the second member of Clemson's 2020 defensive line to deal with long-term COVID-19 symptoms. Xavier Thomas tested positive for COVID-19 last April, and symptoms persisted to the point that he was forced to sit out all of fall camp and missed the early part of the 2020 season.

Swinney said he was disappointed by Foster's decision and asked him to stay with the team in hopes of playing down the road, but he said that Foster, who graduated last year, had a job opportunity that affected his decision.
