Physical CSU linebacker with early-career production and injuries in his story
Tanner Clem was a productive Colorado State linebacker in the 2018 season, recording 67 tackles, 8 sacks, and 58 solo tackles in nine games, which points to a disruptive, downhill play style when healthy[9]. At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, he had the frame and burst to attack the backfield, and older CSU notes identified him as a backup redshirt freshman before he emerged as a contributor[2][9]. The biggest context point: his collegiate career was cut short by injuries, so the fit question is less about raw talent and more about durability and whether a team needs an instinctive, physical tone-setter[3].
