Corey Clark, Warchant.com Senior Writer
Clark joined the staff in December of 2017 after working for the Tallahassee Democrat. He spent more than three years as the newspaper’s lead sports columnist and the previous five as its Florida State beat writer. He had been at the Democrat since 2007, and he has nearly 20 years’ experience in the business. Clark and Warchant’s managing editor Ira Schoffel make up two-thirds of the popular weekly radio show and podcast, “Seminole Headlines,” which also features ESPN-Tallahassee’s Jeff Cameron and airs on 97.9-FM Tallahassee. The University of Georgia product followed Florida State from a young age because his father, John Clark, was an FSU alum and a longtime supporter of Seminole athletics.
