Clemson DL’s 40-Yard Dash Times at Pro Day

Former Clemson defensive tackle Payton Page ran the 40-yard dash on Thursday at Clemson Football’s Pro Day in the Poe Indoor Facility.

Page recorded unofficial 40-yard dash times of 5.19 seconds and 5.02 seconds.

Page grew into one of Clemson’s defensive leaders as a senior in 2024, when he earned third-team All-ACC honors while posting 36 tackles (2.5 for loss), 0.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a pick-six over 14 games (all starts).

When he returned an interception for a 57-yard touchdown vs. The Citadel on Nov. 23, Page became the first Clemson defensive tackle to return an interception for a touchdown since Carlos Watkins’ 15-yard pick-six against Appalachian State in 2015. Page’s pick-six was also the longest by a Tiger defensive tackle since Jock McKissic’s 82-yard interception return for touchdown against South Carolina in 2006.

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Page finished his four-year Clemson career (2021-24) credited with 69 tackles (6.5 for loss), a half-sack, two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries across 53 career games (14 starts).

Page was a consensus four-star prospect coming out of Dudley High in Greensboro, N.C., and was a national top-40 prospect in the 2021 recruiting class according to ESPN.

The 2025 NFL Draft is scheduled to be held from April 24-26 inside and around iconic Lambeau Field and Titletown in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Page impressed with a strong showing during workouts with defensive linemen at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He also had the chance to showcase his skills to NFL scouts and a national television audience when he played in the East-West Shrine Bowl — the longest-running college all-star football game in the nation — on Jan. 30 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
