Michigan State recruiting extended an offer to four-star 2018 athlete Iverson Clement from New Jersey on Friday.

Having a number of recruits on campus Friday, Michigan State recruiting was bound to extend an offer or two. One of the few 2018 prospects on campus was four-star athlete Iverson Clement from Mount Holly, N.J., and he came away with a big offer.

Mark Dantonio has made it his mission to recruit the running back position and Clement has the right body size to play the part. He stands 6-foot-0, 190 pounds and he’s aggressive with the ball in his hands.

The Spartans are looking to improve both the defensive backfield as well as the running back position in the 2018 class. Luckily, Clement can play either one.

Clement projects as either a running back or cornerback at the next level, but after watching his film, he could be a two-way player in college. He has excellent instincts in the defensive backfield and has a feel for where the ball and the receiver are. He’s also an aggressive runner.

As you can see, he’s not patient like a Le’Veon Bell-type, but he has excellent burst and strength to burst through gaps in the defense.

The four-star from New Jersey is ranked the No. 295 overall prospect and 25th-best athlete in the class, according to the 247Sports‘ composite. He’s been offered by the likes of Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, Baylor, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, among others.
