LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark is an unlikely fixture on lists of the 10 best players in the Pac-12.
He has one sack and 9 1/2 tackles for loss in two seasons with the Bruins, totals that Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright or Southern California linebacker/safety Su'a Cravens might match or exceed in non-conference play alone this season. He isn't a two-way star like Bruins teammate Myles Jack or Trojans sophomore Adoree Jackson.
Yet the analytics gurus at Pro Football Focus listed Clark as the sixth-best returning player in the conference, and draft analysts see the junior as a potential anchor for NFL defenses, sentiments that put him alongside the Pac-12's most high-profile players.
