(S25) - PT 3 - Early Decisions

[Cheech65]

Clark Boyd played all through high school, initially playing quarterback as a backup. After significant growth both in height and muscularity, Clark was asked to become a tight end. He swithced positions in order to gain a starting spot, and took to the position naturally. Despite making the All-State team his senior year, recruitment had been light and his offers were not what he had hoped. Clark was happy to accept a partial scholarship offer to his local state team, Rutgers University. The chance to play at the Division I level was too great to pass up. Clark played for 4 years for the Scarlet Knights. His freshman year, he played in only 2 games after filling in due to injuries. Between his on-field performance and his improvement over the offseason, he earned the starting tight end spot his sophomore year. He made a name for himself as a sophomore, becoming a major receiving option for the team. Clark saw his most success in college as a junior. That season he caught 10 touchdowns, leading the Big 10 at the TE position. Clark's senior year was, while still successful, lackluster compared to his previous year. His lack of improvement, combined with the drop in stats, caused Clark to decide not to declare for the DSFL draft and a chance at a professional career. It was only after a talk with his father Russell, himself a retired professional player, that Clark decided to give himself a chance and enter DSFL waivers.
