FAYETTEVILLE — The awards keep coming in for Arkansas cornerback Hudson Clark.
A walk-on defensive back from Dallas, Clark was named the Jim Thorpe Award player of the week Thursday following his three-interception performance in the Razorbacks’ 33-21 win over Ole Miss.
Clark, who made his second career start against the Rebels, is the only freshman in program history to record three interceptions in a game. He is the first SEC freshman to do so since Mississippi State’s Darren Williams in 2003.
Clark is tied for the national lead in interceptions and the sole leader among freshmen.
