Cousin, Steve Breaston, is a receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, and cousin, Swin Cash, was an Olympic gold medalist women's basketball player. Prepped in Michigan, where he was an all-state receiver/defensive back, state champion hurdler and four-year basketball letterman. Began his college career at Michigan — saw limited action in 18 games (three starts) during the 2007 and '08 seasons, totaling 12 catches for 106 yards (8.8-yard average) and zero touchdowns. Sat out ’09 per NCAA transfer rules. With the Buffs in ’10, started 8-of-12 games and pulled in 43-482-3 (11.2). Played all 13 games in ’11, starting the final 10, and tallied 43-680-8 (15.8). Graduated.

A Michigan transfer with athletic bloodlines, Clemons flew under the radar as Colorado tumbled to a 3-10 season. However, he managed to produce on a poor offense, scoring eight touchdowns and gaining more than 15 yards per catch, including a 5-112-2 effort against USC. Has very good size and length and catches confidently. Releases cleanly, tracks the ball and competes in the air — extends outside his frame and high-points throws. Needs to get stronger, but after running in the 4.4s and posting a broad jump of 10 feet 8 inches, Clemons boosted his stock and has some upside as an “X.”
