Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Clyde is one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2027 class across the state and checks a lot of boxes for the position. He is a very efficient tackler that can come up and set the edge, shows good ball skills and breaks quickly on the outside while able to get off blocks and knife into the backfield. He is a fluid mover in transition and when peddling and should draw plenty of college interest through his final year.

Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Clyde checks into our rankings as one of the top defensive backs returning heading into 2026 and is coming off a very successful junior season for Rocky Mountain. He has a quick trigger on the outside, is a excellent open field tackler that can get off stock blocks and set the edge in space while physical at the POA and checks all the boxes in the run game. In man coverage, he shows fluid hips in transition, ball skills when breaking on routes or going up to make contested plays and shows he can run vertically with bigger receivers and stays sticky with eye discipline and quick change of direction/patience in phase. Look for plenty of NAIA/D2+ schools come his way through his senior year and start gaining traction sooner rather then later.
