Darius McClendon brings veteran edge and backfield versatility to Bowling Green
McClendon is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior cornerback whose value shows up in reliability and disruption: he played all 13 games for Bowling Green in 2024 and finished with 31 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks, after posting 61 tackles at FAU in 2023. His differentiators are size for the position, willingness to work near the line of scrimmage, and a proven track record as an every-game contributor rather than a splashy ballhawk. If you want a physical, experienced defensive back who can help in run support and survive tough snaps, he fits.
