In his senior season, Clark has caught 31 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns over five games.

According to Andrew Ivins, the director of scouting for 247Sports, Clark is a perimeter playmaker with the speed to reach the end zone. While he isn’t the most polished player yet, he has the potential to become a significant impact player on game days thanks to his long limbs and speed. He stands just over 6-foot-2 and weighs 180 pounds.

He recorded impressive testing numbers at the Under Armour Next camp circuit, including a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, a 4.31-second short shuttle, and a 122.5-inch broad jump. He excels at attacking deeper routes along the sideline, often leaving defenders struggling to keep up.

While he can create separation with quick cuts, improving his footwork could enhance his efficiency. He quickly tracks the ball in the air and adjusts to make the catch, though he doesn’t have many contested catches highlighted.

Adding weight could improve his performance in contested situations and as a blocker. Overall, he is viewed as a potential multi-year impact player at the Power Four level with genuine NFL prospects. Though he may need some time to adjust, he ranks among the best in the 2025 cycle when it comes to challenging coverages at the second and third levels.
