Early years

College career

Clark appeared in 13 games and made seven starts as a true freshman at Liberty in 2019. He recorded 38 tackles and one sack. After the season, he entered the transfer portal citing "racial insensitivity" within the program as the reasoning.[2] He transferred to the University of Louisville and was granted immediate eligibility.[3][4][5] In 2021, he played in eight games before suffering a season-ending torn ACL.[6] During his three years at Louisville, he had 127 tackles, five interceptions, one touchdown and one sack.
