Jovan Clark brings sideline-to-sideline speed and coverage upside to Washington State
Clark is a freshman linebacker from Chicago whose biggest separator is versatility: he has played both safety and linebacker, which fits modern defenses that ask LBers to cover space, match routes, and trigger downhill fast. His high school résumé showed impact in every phase, including 92 tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, six sacks, and two interceptions as a senior, and he was rated a three-star prospect and No. 34 in Illinois. At 5'11" and roughly 195 pounds, he looks more like a movement linebacker than a thumper, so he is a fit for teams valuing speed, range, and coverage instincts over pure bulk.[1][3][9]
