Jackson State’s starting defensive tackle Corey Clark was back on the practice field Tuesday for the first time in nearly two weeks.
Coach Rick Comegy said Clark left the team to take care of some “personal” problems. He said Clark has returned in shape and should start on Saturday against Delta State.
“Boy, it’s good to have him back out there,” Comegy said. “He’s been working out while he was gone so he’s still able to help us. We need him out there against Delta State.”
Clark (6-foot-2, 305 pounds) had 44 tackles, including 7› for a loss, last season.
After Tuesday’s soggy practice, Clark stayed on the field with fellow defensive linemen Idrees Abdur-Rashied and Marcus Benard, getting in some extra running.
“These guys have stuck by me and supported me while I got through this,” Clark said. “They were always calling on me and checking on me, making sure I was still working out while I got things figured out.”
JSU'S BIG BOY MAY PLAY
Freshman offensive lineman Terrael Williams has made such an impression during fall practice that he could see extended playing time in Saturday’s season opener against Delta State.
At 6-foot-8 and a reported 390 pounds when he came to camp, Williams has slowly slimmed down into better playing shape.
Once a candidate to redshirt, the big man from Dallas could be a key significant piece to the offensive line.
“He’s young and he’s going to make some mistakes,” Comegy said. “But he’s a man on that field and can really move. We’ll see how everything turns out.”
