Clay had a season that shows both production and playmaking ability, finishing with 40 tackles, 2 TFL, 5 QB pressures, 5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. His impact isn’t just in volume—it’s in timing and momentum-shifting plays.

On film, Clay shows a defender who plays with an aggressive mindset off the edge. When he gets a clean runway, he attacks quickly and works to get vertical, which is where most of his sack production comes from. He’s at his best when he’s able to play fast and force the tackle into retreat mode early in the rep.

One of the more noticeable traits is how disruptive he is when he gets into contact. Even when the initial rush is stalled, he keeps his legs driving and continues working to affect the quarterback. That persistence is part of why he shows up in pressure situations even beyond the sack totals.

Clay is an edge rusher who shows the athleticism, speed, and explosiveness to create disruption off the edge. On film, he flashes a quick first step, using his hands and leverage to separate from blockers and get into the backfield. Clay competes with intensity on every snap, showing the ability to pursue the quarterback or ball carrier with urgency. As he continues to refine his pass-rush moves, hand technique, and overall strength, his combination of explosiveness and motor gives him the potential to become a consistent and impactful force on the defensive line.
