Samford’s disruptive DL with proven all-conference pedigree
In the 2010 season, John Michael Clay earned second-team All-SoCon honors after posting 39 tackles, 2 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and 2 fumble recoveries, building on a 2009 campaign with 37 tackles, 6 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 5 quarterback hurries, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick[5][7]. Samford also recognized his character and work ethic with the Kenny Morgan Award, which is a strong clue that he brings more than just splash-play production[10]. If your team wants a tough, high-motor defensive lineman who has already shown he can wreck plays in the backfield, Clay checks a lot of boxes[5][10].
