This is the kind of stuff we love to see in the world of college football. There are very few things better in the sport than a walk-on snagging himself a scholarship.
For whatever reasons, Matt Corral thought it was a good idea to throw at Clarke, and the Rebels paid a high price for it during the loss.

Just because you showed up as a walk-on at an FBS program doesn’t mean that it’ll stay that way forever. Clark is proof of that fact.
One huge game with three interceptions and he’ll be on a full ride starting in January.
