Deonte Clemons gives Chicago State a big-bodied rookie anchor up front
In the 2026 season, Deonte Clemons is listed as a freshman offensive lineman at Chicago State at 6-foot-6 and 340 pounds, giving the Cougars a massive frame to build around[1][2]. His appeal is the obvious one for an OL: size, length, and raw power potential, plus the fact that Chicago State moved quickly to include him in its historic first football signing class[2]. He is still early in his development, so the fit is about upside and physical traits more than proven production right now[1][2].
