The 6-foot-3, 313-pound McClellan spent his entire career in the SEC split between Florida for his first two seasons and the Tigers for his final two. He’s a very experienced player having seen time in 51 games, including starting all 13 games this past season. For his career he racked up 133 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. He did his best work as a senior, finishing with six sacks and eight tackles for loss.

“He’s just one of those guys I think that even though he (played) four years in college, he’s still just scratching the surface a little bit,” director of football operations Milt Hendrickson said.
