Syracuse junior defensive lineman Steven Clark reportedly medically disqualified
Syracuse defensive tackle Steven Clark was medically disqualified on Tuesday because of a genetic disorder, Steve Clark, the SU junior’s father, told Syracuse.com.
Clark had started the first nine games of last season at nose tackle until a lower-leg injury sidelined him for the year’s remaining three games. He made 37 total tackles, three for a loss, and recovered two fumbles in 21 games during his two years at SU.
The Orange now has eight defensive linemen on its roster: Redshirt juniors Kayton Samuels and Chris Slayton, redshirt sophomore Jack Pickard, sophomores Kenneth Ruff, Josh Black, McKinley Williams and Kendall Coleman, and redshirt freshman Jaquwan Nelson.
