02/04/23 - Jake Haener, rSr/2023, Fresno State, 6-0, 207 (DS#10 QB) + More +

Maryland's Chris Ryland kicked four field goals and Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener passed for 139 yards and a touchdown to lead the National team to a 27-10 victory over the American team in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. Haener, a Monte Vista-Danville alum who was named the game's MVP, delivered a 44-yard touchdown pass to Stanford receiver Michael Wilson in the fourth quarter. Haener thrived on a short-handed quarterback situation for the team, completing 12 of 19 passes after setting a Fresno State career record with a 68.1% completion rate.

"I just wanted to come out here and get a win with the guys and cap off a really good week," Haener told NFL Network. "Just have a really good week and get the win. "We found a way to get the win and that was fun." Haener missed four games with an ankle injury this season but returned to help finish off a nine-game winning streak for the Bulldogs. Like the other quarterbacks in the game, he's trying to improve on mid- to- late-round draft projections. "I love proving the doubters wrong," Haener said. "I love the motivation. I love the passion that it brings me. Keep coming with it, man." - San Francisco Chronicle

Kent State safety Dean Clark is heading out west. The Mountain West to be exact. On Tuesday night, the former Massillon Tiger announced on his social media page that he is transferring to Fresno State. Clark, who played four years at Kent State, entered the transfer portal in early December following the departure of former Kent State head coach Sean Lewis, who joined Deion Sanders in Colorado as offensive coordinator. Clark has two more years left of eligibility. Other schools he was considering were Arkansas State and Ohio.

Clark had a breakout season as a junior in 2021 when he led the Golden Flashes with 116 total tackles, earning him All-MAC honors. Prior to this past season, Clark had surgery on his Achilles tendon, which sat him out for most of the season. He made his return on the field on Nov. 9 against Bowling Green, where he registered three tackles. Then in his final game, against Eastern Michigan, he recorded four total tackles. The Golden Flashes ended their season 5-7. For his career at Kent State, he finished with 157 total tackles, five pass deflections, one interception and one forced fumble. - Akron Beacon Journal
