In the blink of an eye, DJ Chark can turn the burners on and fly.
Going in to the AdvoCare Texas Bowl two seasons ago, Chark was a sophomore. In 10 prior career appearances he hadn’t touched the ball.
Heading into the bowl game against Texas Tech, though, Chark knew he’d be getting the ball at some point.
An Alexandria, La., native, Chark was a three-sport athlete at Alexandria High School. On top of football, he also played basketball for the Trojans and ran track.
Chark was rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN.
