Illinois Football: Chunky Clements Anchoring the Middle

Chunky, also known as Jarrod Clements was a solid 3-star recruit out of the class of 2013. He was a highly regarded defensive end at the time.

Clements had scholarship offers from not only Illinois, but also schools like Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and Louisville.

Illinois snagged this talented player from Dayton, Ohio. It probably ended up being one of the better pickups from the Beckman era.

247sports had Clements rated as an above average 3-star recruit that was ranked as the 650th best player in the class of 2017 and the 38th best player in the state of Ohio.
