— Arkansas target Michael Clemons looks the part of an athletic and speedy SEC defensive end.

Clemons, 6-7, 240 pounds of Cisco College in Texas and his teammates practiced Wednesday for Saturday's showdown with Tyler Junior College on Saturday. He has offers from Arkansas, Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina State, Kansas State, Minnesota and others.

He missed most of his senior season at Sachse (Texas) High School in the Garland school district before redshirting last year at Cisco.

"He's a good kid," Sachse Coach Red Behrens said. "He's a late bloomer. He worked out here during the summer. He has a Sunday body. I saw [junior college] film of him this past spring and you can tell his physical growth has given him confidence."

Clemons will graduate in the spring and have three years to play three at the next level. He reports running 4.53 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 4.03 seconds in the pro-shuttle during spring testing
