Rivals lists Clayton as a mid-tier 4 star. 247 has him in the low to mid tier. The services really like the kid. It is the injury issue that is the problem. Will the kid be back to his old form? If so, you are getting a higher ranked RB. If not, a team will have a serviceable back. It is the Nayquan Wright situation all over again. Wright was a high 4 to 5 star (.9739) on both services before his injury. Afterwards, he dropped like a rock. Which back will he be at UF?
I don't know why people are so concerned w/ injuries to a 17 year old. These kids bounce back so quick from injuries, because of their youth, it's a complete non-issue. Unless the kid had his knee or hip completely destroyed in a high impact, high speed automobile accident I wouldn't be concerned one bit.
