Clark was originally committed to Tulane, but it was either the local draw (Clark hails from Marist high school) or the lure of playing for a bigger school that led him to Tech. Clark does not have the most impressive offer list with Tulane, Army, and a pre-Lane Kiffin FAU. However, he was reportedly drawing interest from other ACC schools, like Wake Forest and Louisville.
Clark is ranked 2-stars (5.3) by Rivals and 3-stars (.8072) by the 247 composite rankings. Those who may be dismayed by his lowish ranking should take some comfort in the play of two low ranked offensive line true freshmen last season.
