A big, physical defensive line with length and strong hands, McClinton is a small-town lineman from Cochran in Middle Georgia who really shined as a run defender last fall. He moves well but brings plenty of mass as well at 6-foot-2 250-pounds. He plays hard and can be really tough to slow down when he’s at his best. He’s one of the top 2027 defenders in the area and is now ranked as the No. 30 DL prospect in the state. As a junior this fall McClinton made 41 tackles, 14 TFLs and eight sacks. He’s one to keep a close eye on moving forward.
