veteran Kansas offensive lineman with proven Big 12 experience
Malik Clark’s value is the kind coaches love and box scores barely notice: he’s a seasoned offensive lineman who has been in Kansas’ program for years and started 30 of 34 career games played by 2021, including all nine games in the 2020 season. That kind of experience matters up front, where communication, toughness, and reliability are everything. He was also viewed as a preseason All-Big 12 honorable-level type piece in 2020, which fits a player trusted to anchor protection and keep the run game on schedule.
