Adrian Clark is Gardner-Webb’s tone-setting tackle machine
In the 2025 season, Adrian Clark emerged as Gardner-Webb’s defensive heartbeat, finishing with 98 tackles to lead the Big South-OVC, plus 12.5 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. He looks like a classic fit for a defense that values downhill violence: active, productive, and hard to get rid of once he arrives. The best part? The numbers say “thumper,” but the film vibe says “relentless,” with a hard-hitting style that should translate well if your team wants a linebacker who can clean up plays and set the physical tone.
