Over the weekend Herald Dispatch columnist Chuck Landon wrote an article about hyped transfers who never played a down for Marshall’s football team. Landon’s column centered around two quarterbacks, the recently departed (just from Marshall, not from this world) Cornelius Jones, and Willy Korn.
Korn, a highly rated recruit out of high school, transferred to Marshall from Clemson for the 2010 season. After a few practices last August Korn left the Herd after being moved from quarterback to safety. In a mad dash to find another college Korn ended up at North Greenville, a division II school in his home state of South Carolina.
At North Greenville Korn lead the Crusaders with 1,533 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and only 3 interceptions. Under Korn’s leadership North Greenville won the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association's Victory Bowl, 42 – 16 over Campbellsville (KY). The victory capped a huge season for the Crusaders, they finished with a 9–3 record.
