Willy Korn's Leaving Clemson For Marshall
Clemson backup QB Willie Korn is leaving the football program for Marshall. Korn, a redshirt sophomore, came to Clemson in 2007 as one of the most prized QB recruits in history. Then-coach Tommy Bowden had so much faith in Korn that he and his coaching staff did not go after another QB in that recruiting class.
Unfortunately, Korn’s career at Clemson has been plagued with injuries which left him too far behind on the depth chart. As a result, he has never been able to recover. His fate was sealed when redshirt freshman Kyle Parker beat him out for the starting job during summer workouts.
It’s hard to root against the kid as he’s very charismatic and has a great work ethic. The Clemson sports community will miss Korn, but he’ll have their full support at Marshall.
