Where has former Lehigh QB J.B. Clark resurfaced?

FROM KEITH GROLLER

I have been asked that question about a dozen times in the past year and now, thanks to Lehigh supporter Joe Klosek, I have an answer.

The two-time Lehigh/Lafayette Game MVP is now at Truman State in Kirksville, Missouri.

It's a Division II school.

Clark is competing for a starting position after making a favorable first impression with a 67-yard touchdown pass in Truman State's spring game.

This time last year Clark was engaged in a heated battle for the starting quarterback position at Lehigh, a battle he lost to Chris Lum.

Clark then left the Lehigh program.

In interviews since his departure, Clark said his erratic 2009 season, in which he was benched in favor of Lum for several games, stemmed from a fractured sternum suffered in a Week 2 loss at Villanova.

Clark said the injury was re-aggravated by a hit he took in the 2010 Brown and White spring game.

Those injuries were never revealed during his time at Lehigh.

He searched for an opportunity where he could compete for a starting job and found one at Truman State, which plays in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Truman State has a second-year head coach in Gregg Nesbitt and is coming off a 4-7 season.

In 2010, Lehigh went 10-3, won the Patriot League and advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs.

The Mountain Hawks enter the season ranked No. 13 in the country in the Sports Network/Fathead.com national poll.

Lehigh opens its season on Sept. 3 at Monmouth.

Truman State opens its season on Sept.1 against Northwest Missouri State.
