Clemons was among the top standouts at State’s Top Dawg Clinic in late May. Then three days later he was offered by State and noted then that he wouldn’t take long to make his college decision.
The Bulldogs currently have eight commitments now in the Class of 2025 with more official visitors expected to announce their commitments later this weekend. State entered the weekend with four 2025 commitments in On3 four-star quarterback Kamario Taylor of Noxubee County, On3 composite four-star linebacker Tyshun Willis of Velma Jackson High School, On3 three-star linebacker AJ Rice of Madison (Ala.) Academy and On3 three-star punter Jack Richardson of Madison Central High School.
