Clyde McClendon Jr. brings 6-foot-1, 225-pound power to Grambling’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Clyde McClendon Jr. has shown a downhill, workhorse-style profile for Grambling State, finishing with 39 carries for 161 yards and 1 rushing touchdown, and he also delivered the game-winning 1-yard score in the Tigers’ 31-28 comeback over East Texas A&M. His best trait is physicality: at 6'1", 225 pounds, he runs with enough size to finish drives and enough burst to pop occasional chunk gains, making him a fit for teams that want a tough, between-the-tackles runner who can handle pressure moments.
