Early years
Clement attended Glassboro High School in Glassboro, New Jersey. During his career he rushed for 6,245 yards, 34 rushing touchdowns and 90 total touchdowns.[1] In track & field, Clement posted a time of 11.76 seconds in the 100-meter dash as a senior.[2] He was ranked by Rivals.com as a four star recruit and the 17th best running back in his class.[3] He originally committed to the University of Pittsburgh to play college football but changed to the University of Wisconsin.[4][5]
College career
Clement played in 12 games as a true freshman. As a backup to James White and Melvin Gordon during the 2013 season, he rushed for 547 yards on 67 carries with seven touchdowns.[6][7] As a sophomore in 2014, he again was the backup to Gordon.[8][9] Behind Melvin Gordon in 2014 Clement had 147 carries for 949 rushing yards and nine touchdowns; 14 receptions for 119 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The 2015 season was the first year where Clement was Wisconsin's featured running back after Melvin Gordon elected to declare for the 2015 NFL Draft following his redshirt junior season. Just prior to the first game of the season against Alabama in Dallas, Clement injured his groin. Throughout the game against Alabama Clement was sparingly used, with 8 carries for 16 yards and 2 receptions for 19 yards. He missed the next two games, against Miami (OH) and Troy, with the groin injury before it was announced that he would miss a further four to six weeks after he would receive a sports hernia surgery. He was projected to be able to play in the last three games of the regular season with his first game back being November 7 against Maryland.[10] In late September Clement traveled to Munich, Germany for his sports hernia surgery, which would be performed by renowned specialist Ulrike Muschaweck.[11]
