Syracuse’s veteran blocking TE with sneaky upside
In the 2025 season, David Clement was a durable, physical presence for Syracuse, appearing in every game with five starts and posting 3 catches for 38 yards; across his Syracuse career, he’s built his value more as a tone-setting blocker and special-teams contributor than a volume receiver. At 6-6 and 260 pounds, he brings veteran size, experience, and reliability, with reports projecting him as the Orange’s primary blocking tight end in 2026 and a likely fit for teams that want a tough, assignment-sound in-line TE rather than a flashy pass-catcher.
