Hunter Clegg is a 6’4” 235-pound 4⭐ Edge-Rusher from American Fork High School in American Fork, Utah. He is the #3 ranked overall recruit from the state of Utah and the #17 Edge-Rusher in the country from the class of 2023. Clegg is committed to Stanford University to continue his football and academic careers.
Clegg is a very physical pass rusher that finishes plays just as aggressively as he gets up the field. He has a very high motor when it comes to getting off blocks, as well as firing off the ball, and that has a lot to do with the intensity that the highly regarded defensive end plays with.
