Willy Korn's Clemson dreams derailed. The journey kick-started a career, and his life

Willy Korn sits in a meeting room with other offensive coaches preparing for the 2018 season. It's clear that he belongs.

Korn keeps the mood light with his fun, lighthearted personality, and he offers plenty of suggestions for how to improve the Coastal Carolina University football team’s offensive production.

A black Coastal Carolina polo shirt represents where the wide receivers coach is in his football career. Across the hall in his office are several photos that offer a glimpse into a complex and, at times, difficult past.

There are pictures of his wife, Charlotte, a picture of brothers Kip and Colton, and a picture of former North Greenville teammate Freddie Martino scoring his first NFL touchdown.
