in 2018 coach bailey fielded a unit that continued to be a dominant force in the caa. clyde and maurice jackson formed the most sack productive defensive line in all of the caa, out-sacking every other line in the league by at least five sacks. jackson led the way with a career-high 10.5 sacks on the season, leading the caa in sacks and ranking sixth in the fcs in sacks. he also led the conference in tackles for loss with 15.0 and in forced fumbles with four. jackson, who came to richmond as a safety, played his first full season as a defensive end for the spiders and ranked seventh in the country in forced fumbles. he was named the caa defensive player of the week for the final game of the regular season and earned his first career all america and all-conference honor. he did this while playing in just 10 games, missing a game and a half due to injury. clyde earned his second-straight all-conference accolade with this year's first team honor. the preseason all-america selection lived up to his hype with 6.5 sacks on the season, ranking seventh in the caa. all 6.5 of his sacks came in league play as he led the caa in sacks during conference play. he added two fumble recoveries on the season and finished his career second all-time in richmond football history with 25.0 career sacks. clyde played and started all 50 games of his career, never missing a start in his four years on the field.
