The Big 30: Clemons looks to have strong final season
AggieYell.com's series on the 30 players most important to Texas A&M football's success in 2020 continues with number 16, defensive end Micheal Clemons.
Class: Redshirt senior
Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 270 pounds
2019 stats: 28 tackles, 2.5 TFL, .5 sacks
Projected 2020 role: Starting defensive end
Why he's number 16 on the list: Clemons has been a player two A&M coaching staffs have had high hopes for, and 2020 may be the year he recognizes them. Jimbo Fisher has repeatedly praised the senior, saying multiple times he's had a great training camp. The Aggies need a strong run-stuffing defensive end to play opposite DeMarvin Leal, and Clemons is the best bet to do that job. If his good camp translates to a strong season, the Aggie front line will be very salty.
