Neo Clifton is a long, versatile Red Raider-in-waiting with special-teams juice
In the 2025 season, Neo Clifton played in three games for Middle Tennessee and was redshirted, logging all 32 snaps on special teams with a 70.5 PFF grade, which hints at immediate value as a physical, dependable role player before his receiving résumé fully blooms. The 6-foot-2 Nashville product brings size, return-game background, and the kind of “Swiss Army knife” versatility coaches love; at Brentwood Academy, he posted 1,355 receiving yards, 70-plus catches, eight receiving touchdowns, plus kick-return production. If you want upside, toughness, and a player who can earn his way onto the field in multiple ways, Clifton is worth a look.
