Former WVU edge defender known for range and pass-rush pop
Ben Clemmons’ WVU profile shows a 6-foot-1, 200-pound defensive end prospect who was later developed into a linebacker, a strong sign of athletic versatility and scheme flexibility in the 2002-2005 era.[1][3][6] WVU’s own roster notes described him as a terrific pass-rusher who could run well, which is exactly the kind of “can he chase, bend, and create disruption?” profile coaches love in an edge defender.[3] The big question is fit: he looked like a movement-based defender rather than a pure power end, so he would be best for a system that values speed, effort, and matchup pressure over anchor-heavy edge setting.[3][6]
