Rivals has given Clayton his fifth star. If we can hold on to him, we will not be stiffed of 5 stars.
Recruiting Fifth Star for Clayton
- Thread starter Ancient Reptile
- Start date
Yep. Expected and deserved. Was always a top flight DE but he was an absolute stud at All-Star camps. Done a very good job on the defensive line in this class.

Do you see him staying on the d line or moving to that Dante Fowler type role or maybe even LB?
Needs weight to be a Fowler type, but he could probably grow into it. He'll probably be a situational pass rusher to start and grow from there. I could see him with about 4'sacks this year
If he puts on enough weight. But I'm not sure he can. He may eventually shift to OLB. I'm not sure which linebacker position that is in our defense. @Law98gator would know better than me.
I hate to compare him to Georgia kids but he reminds me a bit of Josh Harvey Lemmons. Except better at rushing the passer. Lorenzo Carter almost signed with us last year and he's pretty similar to Clayton. But I think Clayton is quicker.
I could see him as a situational DE his first year and then flipping to LB the following year. That would probably be his position in the NFL.

Rivals says he doesn't have the frame to add a lot of weight, but was so explosive that he couldn't be ignored.
You damn right!
