Clement attended and played college football at the University of Wisconsin from 2013–2016.[6]

Clement played in 12 games as a true freshman. As a backup to James White and Melvin Gordon during the 2013 season, he rushed for 547 yards on 67 carries with seven touchdowns.[7][8] As a sophomore in 2014, he again was the backup to Gordon.[9][10] Behind Gordon in 2014, Clement had 147 carries for 949 rushing yards and nine touchdowns; 14 receptions for 119 receiving yards and two touchdowns.[11]

The 2015 season was the first year where Clement was Wisconsin's featured running back after Gordon elected to declare for the 2015 NFL draft following his redshirt junior season.[12] Just prior to the first game of the season against Alabama in Dallas, Clement injured his groin. Throughout the game against Alabama, Clement was sparingly used, with 8 carries for 16 yards and 2 receptions for 19 yards.[13] He missed the next two games, against Miami (OH) and Troy, with the groin injury before it was announced that he would miss a further four to six weeks after he would receive a sports hernia surgery. He was projected to be able to play in the last three games of the regular season with his first game back being November 7 against Maryland.[14] In late September, Clement traveled to Munich, Germany, for his sports hernia surgery, which would be performed by renowned specialist Ulrike Muschaweck.[15] In limited action, he had 221 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in four games in the 2015 season.[16]

The 2016 season was the best of Clement's collegiate career statistically. In the first three games, against LSU, Akron, and Michigan State, he totaled 251 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.[17][18][19] On October 15, against Ohio State, he had 164 rushing yards, and one week later, he had 134 rushing yards and a touchdown against Iowa.[20][21] On November 12, against Illinois, he had 123 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.[22] In the Big Ten Conference Championship game against Penn State, he had 164 rushing yards and a touchdown in the 38–31 loss.[23] Overall, he finished his final collegiate season with 1,375 rushing yards, 15 rushing touchdowns, 12 receptions, and 132 receiving yards. At the end of the season Clement was awarded first-team all-Big Ten honors by the coaches, and a second-team all-Big Ten honor by the media.[24]
