The Sad Story Of Ex-Clemson QB Willy Korn

I can’t help but feel bad for Willy Korn. He came out of high school with a four star rating and the 8th ranked QB in the class of 2007. He had a bright future, but then as soon as he stepped foot on the Clemson campus the road ahead started to get cloudy.

In 2007 he was a backup. In 2008 he was named the starter halfway through the season, but then injured his elbow and had to have offseason surgery. Then last year he lost his job to freshman Kyle Parker, who only led the Tigers to an ACC Championship. So realizing he had no shot at playing QB at Clemson earlier this year Korn transferred to Marshall, only to lose out on the starting job there and have the coach try to move him to safety.
