Brandon Clark transferring to Slippery Rock (CDT article)

[GregInPitt]

Sad to see the son of one of my all time favorite players transferring. But he gave it a shot and must see that it's going to be pretty impossible to compete with all the top talent coming to PSU. I believe Brandon began his PSU career at WR, but I was hoping he would have moved to LB, where I believe he also played at State College High..... His Pappy was a destroyer on the DL for PSU....

Brandon Clark is no longer a 10-minute walk from Memorial Field. But a two-hour drive on I-80 West isn’t too far from home, either.

Clark, a State College native, announced his decision to transfer from Penn State to Slippery Rock on Tuesday morning. The former Little Lion, who walked on at Penn State, will be on scholarship at “The Rock” with four years of eligibility.

“Brandon’s a great kid, and he had a great experience at Penn State and loved it,” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “I think it’s a great move. I think it’s a nice fit. He’s going to be utilized there from Day 1.”

He transferred to Slimey Pebble... how much of a loss do you think he is?

Brandon was a walk on, after playing at State College High. Can't see it as much of a loss, other than for having dedicated walk on's to fill the roster and for practice. Just info so we can wish the young man well as he continues to pursue his dreams....

I know that... I was asking the poster I quoted, who was going apoplectic over losing players transferring to much lesser programs.

I think that poster meant this is the 4th time this info has been posted this week, not that Clark is the 4th transfer this week.

Apoplectic? Lol I’ll put the sarcasm button in there for you next time. Clark has transferred 4 times this week since there are 4 posts about it (SARCASM)

He is a bigger loss then it would be to lose BlueBand.

This young man would never have seen the field at PSU. He was not on scholarship. He honed his skills for a year, and now has the opportunity to play the sport he loves, on scholarship! How selfish are you?

I think this is great for this young man, his family and PSU football. It demonstrates for future walk ons......that after time if you don't project to be the next Jan Johnson, that your time spent as a PWO can be cashed into a scholarship and playing time elsewhere. Win - Win.
