Clark is a four-star running back, per 247Sports' Composite rankings.
He picked the Longhorns over some elite programs, including Alabama, Georgia, Florida State and Oregon. He pointed toward his chemistry with coach Steve Sarkisian and running backs coach Tashard Choice as a major reason for his commitment.
“I have developed a great relationship with Coach Choice, Coach Sark, and the rest of the UT staff," Clark told On3. "Their plan for me is to develop me into the best person I can be off and the on the field. The offense they run will allow me to showcase my versatility with being able to catch the ball out the backfield, slot, and of course run the football."
Clark joins a Texas 2024 recruiting class that is already headlined by the likes of quarterback Trey Owens, receiver Freddie Dubose and cornerback Santana Wilson.
