This year is going to be tremendous for Foreman. Last year, he didn't really get the chance to make his impact felt with the Trojans. He also wasn't coached very well by Orlando. The No. 1 recruit in the entire country in the 2021 class, Foreman will be better coached (even if you don't think Alex Grinch is a legit D-Coordinator), and he's going to receive tons of opportunity as the go-to pass rusher for SC.

Pili has already proven that he can make a difference at the line of scrimmage, and just needs to stay healthy. He'll have time this offseason to continue making that full recovery from his injury-plagued 2021. As for Tuipulotu, no explanation is needed for the type of year we all expect him to have. Picking up 48 tackles and 5.5 sacks last year, he's already made the jump from being a quality player to being a standout DT.
