La Salle didn’t reach the NCAA Tournament across Jack Clark’s three seasons with the Explorers after the Pennsylvania native entered college as a mere two-star prospect back in the 2018 recruiting cycle. But he’s been part of March Madness in all three campaigns since, debuting with three points and 10 rebounds in the 2022-23 NC State basketball team’s Round of 64 loss to Creighton.

Clark transferred following that season in Raleigh. Even so, the 6-foot-10, 215-pound versatile forward returned to the Big Dance last year, recording his first three NCAA Tournament victories before he and the then-No. 6 seed Clemson Tigers saw their statement come to an end at the hands of the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide in the Elite Eight.
Now, gearing up for his third straight NCAA Tournament, Jack Clark is a full-time starter and veteran force for the No. 11 seed VCU Rams (28-6). He’s averaging 9.6 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds per contest.
The 25-year-old Clark aims to improve his individual March Madness record to 4-2 when the Rams square off against the No. 6 seed BYU Cougars (24-9) for their East Regional Round of 64 clash in Denver at 4:05 p.m. ET Thursday (TNT).
Should the Rams advance, they’ll face either No. 3 seed Wisconsin or No. 14 seed Montana on Saturday.
