South Stokes' Clark signs with Forsyth Tech, will redshirt after third ACL surgery

WALNUT COVE — Brady Clark’s dream of playing college basketball has survived three surgeries and a career’s worth of uncertainty. On Tuesday, the South Stokes standout finalized his commitment to Forsyth Tech and will join the program as a redshirt while he finishes rehabilitating from his third ACL reconstruction.

Clark said he always envisioned competing at the next level, but the path changed dramatically after waking up from what he believed would be a routine procedure. The latest setback forced him to re-evaluate his timeline, yet he never wavered on the goal of staying in the game.

Forsyth Tech coaches extended the opportunity to sign, allowing Clark to acclimate to the team while completing his recovery. The redshirt year will give the guard extra time to regain strength and mobility before making his collegiate debut.
