| − | ==Early years==
| |
| − | Octavio Clemente grew up in Santiago, Dominican Republic and attended Collegio Nunez y De Leon. He originally only played baseball and did not get introduced to football until his junior year. Clemente played First base, but struggled with plate disciple and was prone to striking out. Once introduced to American football, He developed a training regime inspired by drills used in Football. After a viral video showing his size and athleticism went viral, Octavio drew significant interest from American Universities for Football. He decided to quit baseball and focus only on learning Football. He worked closely with John Palmero over skype sessions to refine his technique. Though Clemente had no game film, He was rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports.com. His speed made him an intriguing prospect. Clemente fielded many offers before initially committing to play college football at Florida International. He de-committed and eventually chose to commit to the University of Florida.
| |
| − | ==College career==
| |
| − | Clemente redshirted his true freshman season. He played in all 13 of the Gators' games with three starts as a redshirt freshman, recording 25 tackles, 8.5 tackles-for-loss and a team-best 5.0 sacks with 11 quarterback hurries and a forced fumble. As a redshirt sophomore, Clemente made 42 tackles, 8.0 tackles-for-loss, 7.5 sacks in ten games played (six starts). Clemente was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week for Week 3 after recording 2.5 sacks against Colorado State. He initially contemplated returning to Florida for his Redshirt Junior year but decided to declare for the (S22) DSFL Draft to help with the financial burdens of his family in the Dominican Republic.

| − | '''Pre-Draft Scouting Report'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | STRENGTHS Plays with tremendous natural speed. Has speed in his hands and upper body to shed blockers without much effort when its time. Sneaky lateral foot quickness. Uses quick feet and shoulder turn to leverage him into gaps for disruption. Flashes some occasional "quick win" handwork as a pass rusher.Has talent and speed to do what he wants on some snaps. Can generate a heavy pocket push when he gets some knee-bend going.
| |
| − | | |
| − | WEAKNESSES Will lockout his long legs on too many snaps. Upright play style limits his leverage and balance against down blocks. Motor will run out of gas if he's forced to chase after play for very long. Average ball instincts. Change of direction can be inconsistent due to pad level. Flashes pass rush talent, but too content to lay on blockers when early rush fizzles. New to football. Will need to study technique and playbook. Strenght lacking for someone his size. Need to talk Strength training serious to make an impact at the next level.

| − | ==DSFL career==
| |
| − | Octavio Clemente impressed early on with DSFL scouts. He went from a late-round pick to a player that was seen as a second or third-round talent. Clemente was drafted with the 7th pick of the 3rd round to the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. He was the 23rd overall player to be selected and the third defensive tackle off the board.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Clemente would start every game including the postseason for the Buccaneers. His season started out slowly, as he was not making an impact on the stat sheet like he was expected given his draft position. He would continually improve and had an impressive second half to the season. He would finish 2nd amongst DSFL DT in tackles and was apart of a stifling defensive unit for Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach would go onto win the Ultimini. The defense shut out the Norfolk Seawolves in the conference championship and then would continue their dominance in the championship game against the Kansas City Coyotes. Clemente was an integral part of the Buccaneers' success anchoring a defense with many future NSFL stars. Brandon Booker, Troen Eggheads, Johnny Hellzapopping and Rotticus Scott are among the amazing players on this defense. The team picked up the nickname "The Bad Boys of Myrtle Beach" due to their numerous run-ins with the law and head office.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Going into the NSFL draft Clemente was seen as a late first to middle second-round pick. He has made a strong reputation for himself across the league as a good locker room influence and hard worker. His surprising speed and athleticism have translated to the DSFL level and is what where his value lies with NSFL GMs. He officially changed his name from Octavio to Cuco upon entering the NSFL draft.

| − | '''NSFL Draft'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cuco Clemente was selected with the 8th pick in the Second Round, 20th overall by the Sarasota Sailfish. Sarasota was in their inaugural season as an expansion Franchise. Clemente joined Myrtle Beach teammate, Dax Frost, who was chosen in the expansion draft. Sarasota had a very strong expansion draft, drafting 4 veteran Defensive lineman. Their draft included legendary Freezer Riposte, who would be playing in his final season. Due to the this depth, it was decided that it would be best for Clemente's development to have another year in the DSFL, starting, rather than be a rotational piece in the NSFL. Clemente would be one of the most prominent DSFL send downs. He was one of five send downs from the 1st two rounds of the S22 NSFL draft.
