Clemson DE Justin Foster -- who missed the entire 2020 season after a brutal battle with COVID -- says he's officially done with football, explaining the virus, asthma and allergies have made it too difficult to play.

"For those unaware, I was born with asthma and allergies that, when active, affect my ability to breath normally," Foster said in a statement Wednesday.

"The combination of these conditions, along with contracting COVID, made for a severe difficulty to perform physically." Foster continued,"While my situation has improved, I am not in a position now, nor do I see that position soon, to step back on the field." Foster was expected to be a starter for Clemson last season as well as this upcoming season after logging 4.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss in '19.
