continues to build real momentum on the recruiting trail. During New Jersey’s playoff run, he consistently showed his value as an outside corner. He competed in one-on-one coverage, moved fluidly in space, and played with confidence against quality receivers. As a result, his film has started to travel.
Because of that, Kenan picked up his second Division I offer, earning one from UConn to go along with his earlier offer from Syracuse. That traction matters. Coaches are clearly buying into his size, movement skills, and ball awareness on the perimeter.
Right now, Clymer remains one of the more underrated corners in the state. However, as his offer list continues to grow, expect that perception to change quickly. His recruitment is trending in the right direction—and this feels like only the beginning.
Blessed to receive an offer from @UConnFootball!!!🐺@Coach_B_XXVII @Fowlkes41 @ECCRSDFootball @CoachNCole @MrPrimetime4 @NewWaveAthlete @Rivals @PrepRedzone @PrepRedzoneNJ @JSZ_Sports @JamieKGaymon @TJTRAININGDAY pic.twitter.com/MeD68GH5Wn

put together a strong playoff run before Eastern’s exit against Kingsway, and his rise as a defensive back became impossible to ignore. He showcased his length, size, and quick-twitch movement skills on the outside, consistently matching up with top receivers and staying in phase downfield.
Clymer’s ball skills stood out on tape. He played through the hands, tracked the football well, and showed the speed to recover when receivers tried to separate. Beyond that, he proved he’s not just a cover corner — he triggered downhill, showed solid tackling technique, and wasn’t afraid to get involved in the run game.
With his blend of instincts, footwork, physicality, and competitive toughness, Clymer checks every box you want in a rising senior defensive back. As he heads into his final year, he projects as one of the top defensive back prospects in New Jersey, and his trajectory continues pointing upward.

had an up-and-down night, but there were bright moments. He made two strong defensive plays at outside corner, showing his athleticism and timing. His ball skills stood out, especially against Kingsway’s top target,

Clymer did allow one score, but he responded well. For most of the game, he stayed disciplined in coverage and competed at the catch point. His technique and recovery speed were clear.
Despite the loss, Clymer’s effort showed he can be a reliable outside corner with upside.

from Eastern Regional is a defensive back with the tools to make a significant impact. At 6 feet and 175 pounds, he brings a strong, physical presence to the secondary. He’s not just a cover guy—he’s a hitter. Whether he’s lined up at cornerback or safety, he plays with a tough, downhill mentality and doesn’t hesitate to come up in run support.
Clymer’s athleticism stands out. He has solid foot speed, fluid movement, and the ability to match up one-on-one in coverage. His ball skills are there, but what separates him is his tackling. He consistently finishes plays, whether forcing runs back inside or making stops in space. His versatility makes him intriguing. He has the frame and skill set to play outside, in safety, or even in the slot. This season will be a massive opportunity to prove he belongs among New Jersey’s top defensive backs.
