Defensive tackle Terrell Clinkscales announces he's leaving Kansas State

Terrell Clinkscales time at Kansas State has come to an end.

Clinkscales, a defensive tackle, announced via his private Twitter account that he has decided to leave the school.

“One door closes god opens another one,” he wrote. “I chased schools and juco and had every school in the country. I’m after my dream #NFL #godgotme.”

He also posted: “Things just didn’t work out. Everything is not for everyone. Upmost respect though. Closing this chapter on to the next one.”

Clinkscales was a highly touted junior college recruit out of Dodge City Community College, but only appeared in eight games as a backup last season and managed just two tackles.

This spring, coach Bill Snyder told media that Clinkscales wasn’t practicing.

“He and I are at odds right now,” Snyder said. “He’s not practicing with us right now. He’s doing some other things but he’s not practicing.”

Clinkscales was arrested last December for failure to appear in court and suspicion of witness/victim intimidation. The failure to appear warrant was due to expired tags or an unregistered vehicle. The charge of witness/victim intimidation and a later charge of criminal damage to property was connected to a domestic incident.
