Former Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver James Clark looks to find his footing in Blacksburg with a move to the Virginia Tech Hokies. The graduate transfer looks to crack the Hokies receiving corps next season.

It’s no secret the Hokies’ offense will take a hit with the departures of quarterback Jerod Evans, tight end Bucky Hodges and wide receiver Isaiah Ford. Clark is a 5-foot-10, 186-pound wide receiver looking to help change things in 2017.

In 2016, Clark played in all 13 games for the Buckeyes. He caught six passes for 47 yards and was a regular contributor on special teams.

He broke his ankle against the Florida A&M Rattlers during his freshman season in 2015 and never could quite find his way back on the playing field.

Now, Clark finds himself in an interesting position with the Hokies.

He was also something of a track star at Ohio State as well. He was a member of the second-fastest 4×100-meter relay team in school history. Clark was the lead leg of the team that ran a time of 39.01. He’ll look to utilize his speed on the field in the Hokies’ fast-paced offense.
