Clodfelter has much more power than you’d expect from a smaller, younger back. Specifically, his excellent contact balance allows him to pick up a few extra yards when a defender can’t square him up on a tackle attempt. He earned a bit of playing time on both sides of the ball last season. Clodfelter is the top returning running back for North Rowan and could see a huge increase in volume as a sophomore.

We’d seen a few statistics from Clodfelter’s 2025 season, but we hadn’t had time to look at his film until recently. We like what we see from the rising sophomore, and think his contact balance and shiftiness should translate when his volume increases. The Cavaliers tend to be a pass-heavy team, but the departure of their leading rusher leaves plenty of reps on the table for the 170-pounder.
