Clark Garners Jim Thorpe Award Player of the Week Honors

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas redshirt freshman DB Hudson Clark has been named the Jim Thorpe Award Player of the Week after his three interception game last week in the Razorbacks 33-21 win over Ole Miss, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame announced Thursday.

Making his second career start, Clark turned in one of the most memorable Razorback performances of late, becoming the first freshman in school history to intercept three passes in the same game. Clark also made five tackles and allowed just one completion. His three picks are tied for second-most in a game in school history and third-most in conference history while becoming the first SEC freshman to intercept three passes since Mississippi State’s Darren Williams in 2003 against Troy. The walk-on is tied for the nation’s season-lead in interceptions (3) and is the sole leader among freshmen. Earlier this week, the corner was named SEC Freshman of the Week and earned a spot on the Football Writers Association of American Freshman All-American watchlist. In addition, the Dallas, Texas product was named one of PFF’s two College Football MVPs of the Week alongside Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence.
