The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Clark from Grayson, Georgia is ranked as the 12th-best center nationally for the 2019 class, per 247sports.com.
Clark decommitted from Auburn in September and Arizona picked up steam in his recruitment and offered him Oct. 5. On Oct. 26, Clark took an official visit to UA for Arizona's 44-15 win over Oregon.Β
The Wildcats were viewed as a possible favorite after Clark posted a tweet showing admiration for playing at UA.Β
