Paterson (NJ) Paterson Catholic

Wt: 265 lbs
Forty: 4.7

Trevor Clemmings, Jr., has only played one year of organized football but already holds scholarship offers from various east coast powerhouses including Florida, Tennessee, Ohio State and Notre Dame according to Rivals.

Many think TJ will challenge for the top spot in New Jersey's prep rankings.

His parents kept TJ focused on basketball for years, but after he continued to grow and to receive attention, they finally allowed TJ to try out football.

Excerpt from a free read at Scout---

Scout.com: Big Time Showcase Defensive Top 10

Jr. DE T.J. Clemmings (6’6 265) of Patterson Catholic (NJ) is as big and as good as advertised. He has an elongated, athletic frame with a huge wing span which is perfect for playing the weak side defensive end position. He could easily walk around at 285 and still play defensive end because of the way he holds his weight. Unbelievably, he ran a 4.7 forty yard dash and also excelled in defensive line drills as well as 1-on-1’s, which he dominated. Every time he lined up, an offensive lineman got embarrassed. T.J. not too long ago, being that he was new to the game, was considered an athletic specimen with potential. He has now become a football player who is an athletic specimen. There is a big difference. He applied swim and rip moves affectively and at the ideal moments throughout the pass rush progression. Clemmings likely would have gone home with multiple post- event awards but he had to leave early due to emergency, which disqualified him from consideration. T.J. should come into next season as the top player in the state and compete for All-American honors.

Clemmons comes in after the 2-minute mark:

I doubt coaches will stop recruiting him, considering his offer list is still growing and he hasn't really sampled many of the schools that have tried to recruit him.
