Early life
Family and childhood
Corey Joel Clement was born on November 2, 1994, in Glassboro, New Jersey, to parents Latanya Dunaway-Clement and Stephen Clement Sr.[9][10] He grew up in the same South Jersey town, approximately 30 minutes from Philadelphia, in a modest family environment where resources were limited and challenges were common, much like many households.[11][12] His mother, an alumna of Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in Philadelphia, served as his primary inspiration, guiding him through life's difficulties with resilience and determination.[13][12] Clement has an older brother, Stephen Clement Jr., who recognized his athletic potential from a young age and often played alongside him in informal games during their childhood.[14][15] The family maintained strong ties to the Philadelphia area, with roots in the city's blue-collar culture, though Clement himself developed an early affinity for the Dallas Cowboys as a fan, diverging from local Eagles loyalty.[16] His upbringing emphasized hard work and perseverance, values instilled by his parents amid everyday family struggles.[14] During his early school years in Glassboro, Clement attended local public schools and began showing promise in sports, particularly football and track, supported by community figures like his high school guidance counselor, Mary Beth Ragozzino.[17] Ragozzino, noting his ambition as a ninth-grader, made a memorable promise to gift him her 1995 BMW if he reached the NFL—a pledge she fulfilled after his rookie season with the Eagles.[11] This encouragement from mentors and family helped shape his drive, as he navigated a childhood focused on athletic development in a tight-knit, working-class community.[18]High school career
Corey Clement attended Glassboro High School in Glassboro, New Jersey, where he emerged as a standout athlete in football and basketball. He earned a spot on the varsity football team as a freshman and quickly established himself as a versatile player, contributing as a running back, defensive back, and on special teams throughout his career.[19] During his junior year in 2011, Clement set a South Jersey prep rushing record with 2,510 yards on the ground, while scoring 35 total touchdowns across rushing, receiving, defensive plays, and special teams returns.[19][20] His performance that season, which included 36 rushing touchdowns according to recruiting evaluations, helped lead the Glassboro Bulldogs and drew widespread attention from college scouts.[20] As a senior in 2012, Clement continued his dominant play, contributing to a sensational season that capped his high school tenure. Over four years, he amassed a South Jersey-record 6,245 rushing yards and 90 total touchdowns, showcasing his speed, vision, and all-around skills.[21] His accomplishments earned him four-star recruit status from major scouting services and offers from top programs including Rutgers, Florida State, Ohio State, Iowa, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame. Initially committing to Pittsburgh in June 2012, Clement switched his pledge to Wisconsin in November of that year, signing with the Badgers as a highly touted prospect ranked among the nation's top running backs.[19][22]College career
University of Wisconsin
Corey Clement joined the University of Wisconsin Badgers as a highly touted running back recruit from Glassboro High School in New Jersey, where he had set state records for rushing yards and touchdowns.[23] Enrolling in 2013, he quickly made an impact as a true freshman in head coach Gary Andersen's run-heavy offense, serving as the third option in a backfield rotation that included James White and Dare Ogunbowale. Clement appeared in 12 games, rushing for 547 yards on 67 carries with an average of 8.2 yards per attempt and scoring 7 touchdowns, ranking third on the team in rushing.[4] His breakout performances included back-to-back 100-yard games in his first two collegiate outings against Massachusetts (1 touchdown) and Tennessee Tech (2 touchdowns), earning him Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on September 9.[24] He repeated the award on November 18 after a 127-yard, 2-touchdown effort against BYU in the Pinstripe Bowl, where Wisconsin secured a 24-17 victory, and received honorable mention All-Freshman recognition from College Football News.[4] As a sophomore in 2014 under new head coach Paul Chryst, Clement expanded his role alongside Melvin Gordon, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, in a season that saw Wisconsin reach the Big Ten Championship Game. He played all 13 games, accumulating 949 rushing yards on 147 carries (6.5 yards per attempt) with 9 rushing touchdowns, plus 14 receptions for 119 yards and 2 receiving scores.[5] Despite sharing carries, Clement earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors on November 3 following a 131-yard, 2-touchdown performance in a 37-0 win over Rutgers.[4] His versatility shone in the backfield, but injuries limited his output in the final four games, including the Outback Bowl loss to Auburn.[25] Clement's 2015 junior season was severely hampered by injuries. Early in the year, he suffered a sports hernia during practice before the opener against Alabama, undergoing surgery on September 24 that sidelined him for most of the campaign.[26] He returned briefly but was limited to four games, rushing for 221 yards on 48 carries (4.6 yards per attempt) and 5 touchdowns, with 2 receptions for 19 yards.[5] A subsequent off-campus incident in November resulted in a hand cut, further complicating his recovery and participation.[27] Despite the setbacks, he was named to the preseason watch lists for the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award entering the year.[28] Clement rebounded strongly in 2016, his senior year, starting all 13 games he appeared in and anchoring Wisconsin's offense en route to a 12-2 record and a No. 8 final ranking. He led the Big Ten with 314 rushing attempts, amassing 1,375 yards (4.4 yards per attempt) and 15 touchdowns—third in the conference for yards and touchdowns—while adding 12 receptions for 132 yards.[5] Key highlights included 134 rushing yards and 1 touchdown in a 17-9 win at Iowa on October 22, and a 111-yard, 2-touchdown outing in a 54-10 rout of Akron.[4] He also scored twice in the 31-17 victory over Minnesota on November 26 and ran for 164 yards in the Big Ten Championship Game loss to Penn State. For his efforts, Clement earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and second-team from the media, along with preseason nods for the Maxwell and Doak Walker Awards.[4] Over his four-year career, he totaled 3,092 rushing yards and 36 rushing touchdowns on 576 carries, ranking among Wisconsin's historical leaders in those categories.[5]College statistics

He rushed for 321 yards on 74 carries with 4 touchdowns and recorded 10 receptions for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns.[36] During the playoffs, Clement played a key role in the Eagles' postseason run, catching 10 passes for 139 yards and 1 touchdown across three games, helping the team secure their first Super Bowl victory. In Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots, he amassed a career-high 100 receiving yards on four catches, including a 22-yard touchdown, becoming only the fourth rookie in NFL history to achieve 100 receiving yards in a Super Bowl.[37] Additionally, he snapped the ball to Trey Burton on the iconic "Philly Special" trick play, which resulted in a touchdown pass to quarterback Nick Foles.[2] The 2018 season began promisingly for Clement, who started as a backup to Jay Ajayi and contributed on special teams. He appeared in 11 games, rushing for 259 yards on 68 carries with 2 touchdowns and catching 22 passes for 192 yards. His season ended prematurely after suffering a knee injury during a Week 14 game against the Dallas Cowboys, where he sprained a ligament on a second-quarter run, leading to his placement on injured reserve on December 11.[38] Despite the injury, he returned for the wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears, catching one pass for 7 yards. In 2019, Clement's role diminished due to a shoulder injury sustained during a kick return in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, which sidelined him after four games with no offensive statistics.[39] The Eagles declined to offer him a restricted free agent tender in March 2020, making him an unrestricted free agent.[40] However, the team re-signed him to a one-year contract on April 29, 2020, valuing his versatility and Super Bowl experience.[41] During the 2020 season, limited by the depth chart featuring Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, Clement played in 15 games, rushing for 75 yards on 21 carries with 1 touchdown and catching 5 passes for 25 yards.
