Before you ask, yes Demon Clowney is related to Jadeveon. He’s the cousin of the Seattle Seahawks’ star defensive end and was in sixth grade when the famous “The Hit” happened in the Outback Bowl versus Michigan.

Now, he’s a beast himself, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 225 pounds from Baltimore, Md. He is looking at a few schools from the ACC as well as Ole Miss.

It looks like the Rebels are the favorites to land the four-star defensive end but they’ll have to fight this battle against Miami, Virginia and Louisville. Georgia was considered a contender at one point, but if Clowney is to go to the SEC, Ole Miss is the most likely destination.

Clowney is ranked the No. 135 overall player and eighth-best weak-side defensive end in the class and he has the potential to be a star at the next level.

Watching his tape, it’s clear he has a good burst off the snap and finds holes in the offensive line and fires through them. He’s a strong tackler and he stays low. He would be a perfect addition for the Rebels, especially with that defense needing massive improvements.
