Week 6 Player of the Week: Norcross WR Jahsaun Clarke

Norcross wide receiver Jahsaun Clarke is joined by head coach Keith Maloof for the presentation of GHSF Daily's Player of the Week Award.

Jahsaun Clarke has to be the hottest and most clutch multi-threat offensive weapon in the state these past two weeks.

The Norcross senior wide receiver caught eight passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-26 victory over Peachtree Ridge on Friday.

In the first half, Clarke's 40-yard TD reception on fourth-and-6 got Norcross back in the game after trailing 14-0, and his 64-yard reception on third-and-3 set up another touchdown just before halftime.

With 52 seconds left in the game, Clarke's 14-yard TD reception was a game-winner. Moments before, his 7-yard reception on fourth-and-5 – with Norcross gambling from its 38-yard line – kept the drive going.

A week earlier, Clarke was forced into QB duty because of an injury and rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns and threw two TD passes in a 35-21 victory over Duluth.

Clarke “is just one of those players that somebody better grab in a hurry because they’re going to lose out on this kid if they don’t grab him,” Norcross coach Keith Maloof told the AJC after Friday’s game. “That dude … I don’t know if I’ve seen very many high school players do what he does.”

Clarke is GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Sports Turf.
