SEMO's Clarence Thornton: OVC Defensive Anchor with Disruptive Edge
Clarence Thornton, a 6-3, 268-pound senior DT for Southeast Missouri State Redhawks, earned Second-Team All-OVC honors in 2019 with 36 tackles, 8 TFL, and 3.5 sacks in 13 starts, showcasing explosive power that caught Montana State's staff's eye on film during a 4-tackle effort vs. Southern Illinois. His consistent starting role (11+ games) and film-measured intensity make him a reliable, high-motor interior disruptor—ideal for teams needing run-stopping tenacity without injury red flags. A proven FCS leader worth scouting for depth.
