Aydan Clinton brings rare size and upside to FIU’s defensive front
Aydan Clinton is a long, powerful 6-foot-7 defensive lineman from Lakewood High in St. Petersburg who signed with FIU in the 2025 class and was viewed by recruiting services as a developmental strongside end with clear physical upside. His best differentiator is frame: he can eat space, lengthen passing lanes, and become a disruptive edge-setting force if his technique keeps catching up to his tools. In short, he looks like a classic high-ceiling fit for a team that wants length, toughness, and growth potential on the front seven.
