FRISCO, TEXAS — Notre Dame cornerback Jordan Clark is no stranger to Pittsburgh. He grew up there, while his father Ryan Clark played safety alongside Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu. He visited the locker room as a kid. He played soccer for the Riverhounds. And Pittsburgh fans who have followed Ryan Clark in his post-NFL career have likely heard about Jordan’s journey from his proud father.
Soccer was Jordan’s first love when it comes to sports. After the family moved to Baton Rouge, he added football. Eventually, he had to choose which sport would be his focus and football won.
