Clark Set To Narrow List

Rockbridge County (Lexington, VA) rising senior offensive tackle Austin Clark has compiled an impressive list of scholarship offers. Clemson, Duke, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Virginia Tech are among the schools vying for the 6’6”, 290-pound prospect; however, by week’s end only seven will remain in contention.

“I’m actually going to narrow it down to about a top seven or so later this week, probably Thursday,” said Clark, who later definitively said he would reveal his list on Thursday.
