Texas A&M Football Overlooked Players in 2021, No. 2: DE Micheal Clemons

If you google the name “Micheal Clemons,” the first name that comes up might be a 56-year old former NFL vet. And while that’s not the same Micheal Clemons that we’re talking about today, it feels like this one has been around long enough to be 56 years old.
