NATCHITOCHES, La. (KALB) - Former Northwestern State quarterback Zach Clement is heading in a new direction as the former Demons’ starter announced he would be transferring to Southland Conference rival Southeastern Louisiana.

After the Demons started the season 0-3, Clement took over the starting quarterback job, throwing 2,498 yards and 19 touchdowns while also adding 303 yards and two scores on the ground.

Clement led NSU to a 4-4 record in the eight games he started and had the Demons playing for a share of the Southland Conference title heading into the final week of the regular season.
