In the last few days, Gary Clark has won a lot of awards. He was named an all-American Athletic Conference first-team member on Monday. Then he received the AAC Defensive Player of the Year and conference sportsmanship award on Tuesday. Today, he received the greatest honor a player in the AAC can achieve, as he was rightfully named the league’s player of the year.
