2,300-yard transfer QB strongly linked to three major college football programs

Three prominent college football programs are vying for Elon quarterback Landen Clark, a redshirt freshman who has entered the transfer portal. Clark, a 6-foot, 186-pound dual-threat quarterback from Radford, Virginia, is moving up to the Power Four after a standout season at the FCS level. He accounted for nearly 3,000 yards of total offense, including 2,321 passing yards and 18 touchdowns, along with 614 rushing yards and 11 scores.

The battle for Clark's commitment involves an SEC team, Michigan, and James Madison. The SEC program, led by head coach Lane Kiffin, hosted Clark for a visit that started Wednesday and ends this weekend, following the decision of another quarterback to stay with Washington. Michigan, under new leadership with Kyle Whittingham, also welcomed Clark earlier in the week, aiming to bolster its offense after recent coaching changes. James Madison offers the prospect of immediate playing time closer to Clark's hometown.
