John Luke's thoughts
Clayborn is perhaps the most underrated of the lineman in this class for MSU. He is a big-bodied lineman, though, and with a redshirt he could develop into a really good interior lineman. I feel like he has a very high ceiling once he gets into a college weight room and gets some college level coaching.
