A physically gifted back with the size/speed numbers to play at the next level, Clayton could be one of the gems in this draft if he ever puts it all together.


Biography:

Florida State transfer who has been a part-time starter the past two seasons. Senior rushing totals included 67/322/3 during an injury-riddled five-game season. Career-best numbers of 137/637/4 came as a junior.

Pos:

Nice-sized north/south ball carrier. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and displays strength carrying the ball. Powerful, runs with authority and picks up the tough yardage. Runs with good lean, putting his shoulders into defenders at the point of attack.

Neg:

More of a straight-line runner who loses momentum when he must quickly change direction. Needs to improve his blocking. Had conflicts with the Kansas State coaching staff last season, which limited his playing time.
