Clyburn was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second round of the 1992 amateur draft. He is the cousin of former Anaheim Angels pitcher Pep Harris.

Clyburn was shot dead in Lancaster, South Carolina on February 7, 2012.

On January 10, 2014, McIlwain pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
