Who cares what they said then....after four years at USC he was the third ranked lb on coming out this year. He was a top 20 talent, but def not top 5. Some thought Clay M was the best of the USC crop......
actually hes extremely overrated.....the brand name USC gave him the royal gift of being considered highly touted.....hes soft, he cant hit, he cant read plays, he misses mad tackles, hes always injured, no leadership qualities.....(Ive studied his tapes)...and my buddy played against him, he said he was soft and is scared to hit, and scared of the black man...he was a qb/rb in high school....only reason why he was put at linebacker because he couldnt fit anywhere else.
why hes top 5..
comes from a quality program, is somewhat athletic, has a good work ethic....
