The coaching staff was confident that David would take his place among college football's elite in 2006, but the speedy receiver under-went an emergency appendectomy in September that sidetracked his quest to lead Tech in its march for a national title. David was a Class 5A All-State honorable mention as a senior receiver at Atlantic High School, earning four letters on the gridiron. He also competed as a safety, leading the team to an undefeated regular season during his final year. Clowney garnered All-Palm Beach County honors from The Palm Beach Post Sun-Sentinel, as he totaled 25 catches for 576 yards (23.0 avg) and a county-best ten touchdowns in 2002. He returned three kickoffs for 245 yards (81.7 avg) and a pair of scores and also made one of the season's biggest plays, a 95-yard touchdown catch against Ely in the regional finals that year. Clowney added 39 receptions as a junior, coming up with three receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns vs. Wellington High. He also lettered as a sprinter on the track team. He was a state finalist in the 200 meters and a regional finalist in the 100 meters. David added two more letters as a guard on the basketball squad. He enrolled at Virginia Tech in 2003, seeing action in twelve games as a reserve receiver. David gained 67 yards on five receptions (13.4 avg) and a touchdown. He also recovered a fumble that season. Despite starting only one of twelve games in 2004, Clowney ranked fourth on the team with 20 catches for 263 yards (13.2 avg) and two touchdowns. He gained 45 yards on a pair of kickoff returns, but lost 20 yards when he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage on a reverse. He also competed for the school's indoor track team. He posted a season-best 60-meter dash time of 6.87 in the Big East Conference Prelims and finished second in that event at the Virginia Tech Invitational. Clowney started twelve games on the right side of the field in 2005, coming up with a team-high 34 receptions for 619 yards (18.2 avg) and three touchdowns. He also returned one kickoff for 30 yards. In outdoor track, David ran the 100- and 200-meter dashes and helped set a school indoor record with a time of 6.94 in the 60 meters at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships. David started five of twelve games he played in during the 2006 campaign. He missed the Cincinnati clash after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on September 21st, but was back on the field nine days later. Clowney led the team with 34 catches for 424 yards (12.5 avg), but did not have any touchdowns. He had two kickoff returns for 44 yards and recorded three tackles (2 solos) while recovering his own fumble. In 49 games at Virginia Tech, Clowney started eighteen times. He hauled in 93 passes for 1,373 yards (14.8 avg) and six touchdowns. He gained 119 yards on five kickoff returns (23.8 avg), but was stopped twice for losses totaling minus 25 yards on two reverses. David recorded three tackles (2 solos) and recovered two fumbles.</p><p></p><p>ANALYSIS:</p><p></p><p>Positives: Has a lean, angular frame with room to carry more bulk without it affecting his quicknessHas adequate power to fight through the jam and get into position to make the tough catches in a crowdNot big, but is a slippery route runner whose suddenness causes defenders to struggle in attempts to get their hands on him in attempts to rerouteBlessed with the elusiveness and second gear to escape the initial tackler and separate in the open fieldShows fluid change of direction agility and despite his slight frame, he utilizes his explosion to defeat the jamDoes a nice job of gearing down and dropping his weight when working through a crowdHas the plant-&-drive agility coming out of his breaks to get under the deep passHas the explosion to instantly gobble up the cushion and will win most foot races in the openSinks his pads with fluidness and is deceptive with his acceleration, as he looks effortless gliding towards the ballStays in control getting in and out of his break pointHas the quick vertical burst and lateral agility to come back for the poorly thrown passShows good awareness for locating the soft spots in the zone, dropping his weight to settle underneath.
