NLI’s Received

CB KEI’TREL CLARK 5’11” 165

Clark seemed to pop onto the radar out of nowhere this past weekend, taking a visit to Liberty. Many thought he and his friend, 4-star Trayvion Land, were a package deal. He attends Manchester High School in Midlothian, Virginia and is the perfect example of a late bloomer in the recruiting process. He didn’t begin receiving any FBS offers until after his senior season started. As he helped lead Manchester to its first ever class 6 state championship, FBS teams began to take notice. He picked up offers from Charlotte, Marshall, Western Michigan, and Akron. He took a visit to Charlotte December 15th and was committed to the 49ers under their former coaching staff. After the coaching change, Clark de-committed. He’s also taken visits to Western Michigan, Marshall, and Kent State. Playing both receiver and defensive back, Clark collected 25 receptions for 471 yards this season. His eight touchdown receptions led all receivers for Manchester. He had 23 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, and 5 interceptions on defense. He earned All-State first team honors at wide receiver and second team honors at defensive back and punt returner. Virginia Tech, UMass, and JMU have also shown interest. He was ranked #2 in the country in punt returns by MaxPreps.

DT WILLIAM GREEN, JR 6’6″ 305

LB MALIK CAPER 6’1″ 225
