Lonnie Clemons brings starting LB production and disruptive backfield punch to Middle Tennessee
Clemons is a 6-1, 230-pound linebacker who showed real disruption in the 2007-08 seasons, including 41 tackles, five tackles for loss and a team-leading four sacks in 2008 after posting 45 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2007. His differentiator is playmaking, not just cleanup tackling: he consistently generated negative plays and added turnover-impacting production earlier in his career. For a team, that profile fits a physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can pressure the backfield and help set the tone when healthy and in rhythm.[1][2]
