Spartan Profile: Marvin Clark Jr.
By Hanna Sprague, MSU Athletic CommunicationsFlash back to last season. The alarm buzzes and Marvin Clark Jr. gets out of bed, puts on his practice gear and makes his way out of Wonders Hall. It’s 5:30 in the morning and campus is covered with a blanket of darkness, but he isn’t alone.
“We get up pretty early,” said Clark. “I remember mornings that we all woke up together and we had a lift. We would just walk everywhere on campus because none of us had a car. We didn’t have bikes either.”
College roommates often become close by nature, but very few can claim relationships like the one that developed between Clark and teammates Tum Tum Nairn Jr. and Javon Bess almost immediately as freshmen.
