Ronald Clarke brings proven ball production and veteran versatility to App State’s secondary
Clarke has been a steady, physical safety for Appalachian State, appearing in 52 games with 24 starts and producing 128 career tackles plus three fumble recoveries. In the 2024 season, he played nine games, started the first five at free safety, and finished with 30 tackles and a career-high eight tackles against Clemson, showing he can handle higher-leverage snaps. His value is built on range, reliability, and playmaking in space; he also has experience at both free and strong safety, which makes him a flexible fit for multiple defensive looks. [1]
