Former Ohio State wide receiver James Clark has confirmed his intentions to transfer to Virginia Tech with 247Sports. Clark is a graduate transfer and is eligible immediately.

The 5-foot 10-inch wide receiver visited Virginia Tech this winter after receiving his release from Ohio State. He also visited South Florida.

“I am committed there,” Clark confirmed to 247Sports via text message on Thursday night when asked about the Hokies.

“I wanted to take advantage of my last year and Virginia Tech was the best situation for me,” Clark said. “The staff was great and the success they've had drew my attention. I loved the program overall and wanted to be a part of the 2017 Hokies team. I prayed about it a lot and I'm just thankful that Coach Fuente is giving me an opportunity to start fresh.”

Clark transfers at an ideal time for the Hokies after losing both Bucky Hodges and Isaiah Ford to the NFL Draft. Clark has one year of eligibility remaining and will not factor against the Hokies 2018 wide receiver class which is expected to be at least three prospects deep.

He will arrive at Virginia Tech this summer.

Clark played sparingly during his time at Ohio State, battling injuries during his first few years on campus. Last fall, he recorded six catches for 47-yards.
