Clark Atlanta University football in 2024 will look a lot like Allen University football in 2023.
CAU announced the addition of 10 transfers from its fellow SIAC squad that will join its program – including SIAC Offensive Player of the Year David Wright.
Wright and his teammates will join new CAU head coach Teddy Keaton in Atlanta. Keaton was hired by Clark Atlanta University following the 2023 season.
Wright led the SIAC in passing yards during the 2023 season, throwing for 3,171 yards and was second in total touchdowns with 23 – 19 of them in the air. He averaged 335 yards per game and completed 58 percent of his passes. He also rushed for four more scores and 235 yards on the ground, helping Allen to their best season in modern history with a 7-3 record. Wright also passed for over 300 yards in 7 of 9 games this season with a season-high of 411 yards and five pass TDs in the comeback win over Kentucky State.
Joining David Wright at Clark Atlanta will be offensive lineman Eli Shareef. The Hampton, Georgia product was named All-SIAC as a freshman last season for Allen.
Wright will also have one of his top targets from last season in Atlanta. Armone Harris caught 41 passes for 677 yards and five touchdowns.
Denzell Moore, Jaheim Borden and DeAndre Pridgett will all join the defensive line at CAU.
CAU also brought in former Jackson State defensive back Adryan Haye.
Allen University went 7-3 last season under Keaton. Clark Atlanta University finished 0-10 on the season.
