Penn State QB Clark on pace to graduate in 3˝ years
Penn State starting quarterback Daryll Clark has been granted a fifth year of eligibility, the school announced Wednesday.
"Daryll has completed more than 85 percent of the credits required to earn his degree in telecommunications and will be eligible to play in 2009," Penn State assistant athletic director Jeff Nelson said. "He is on schedule to graduate in December 2008, in 3½ years. He will enroll in a second degree or graduate school in the 2009 spring semester."
Clark needed to complete at least 80 percent of his credits toward graduation by next summer in order to be eligible for the 2009 season.
Clark, who was named the Nittany Lions' starting quarterback last week, was a freshman academic nonqualifier who spent a year at a prep school before enrolling at Penn State. He spent two years as Anthony Morelli's backup before beating out Pat Devlin for the top job in preseason camp.
The 6-2, 231-pound Clark said last week that he was on pace to earn a fifth year and fully expected to take it.
