Physical Profile

Listed at 6-2, 208 lbs. Taller than 96% and heavier than 85% of 2025 Running Back prospects in the SEC Scouts database (114 with a listed size).

Play Style

Based on his rating profile and Florida commitment, Clark likely displays the versatility and skill set that fits modern college offenses - suggesting ability as both a runner and receiver with the athleticism to create explosive plays in space.

Strengths

High composite rating (0.9032) indicates strong overall evaluation across multiple scouting services
Florida commitment suggests he fits the speed and athleticism profile the Gators prioritize in their spread offense
Developed at Plant High School, a program known for producing Division I talent and providing quality coaching

Areas to Improve

Limited national recruiting exposure as evidenced by lack of widespread P5 offers
Needs to prove consistency against elite competition at the college level

College Projection

Should compete for early playing time in Florida's backfield rotation by sophomore year, with potential to develop into a feature back if he maximizes his physical tools and adapts quickly to SEC speed.

NFL Outlook

Has the rating profile that suggests potential professional upside if he develops consistently at Florida, though will need to prove himself against SEC competition to establish legitimate draft credentials.

Best Fit

Thrives in up-tempo, spread-style offenses that utilize multiple running back sets and emphasize versatility - making Florida's system under Billy Napier an ideal developmental environment for his skill set.

Player Comparison

Jordan Scarlett Florida • Carolina Panthers 82% match

Scarlett shares a nearly identical physical profile at 6'1" 208 lbs with similar versatility as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield.
