Personal:

Born July 29, 2003… Son of Kenny Clark and Sarah Goodwater… Has five siblings: ZZ, Kingston, Christian, Faith and Monroe… Major is undecided.
His father, Kenny Clark, played three years in the NFL at wide receiver with the Minnesota Vikings. His uncle, Steve Rhem, played wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints.
Personal goal at UofL is to win.
He thinks the best thing about being a Cardinal is the fans.
Enjoys fishing, boxing and interior designing in his spare time.
The basketball player he most admires is Kobe Bryant.
He’d most like to meet “God, not anytime soon though.”
He thinks Jaden Smith would play him in a movie about his life.
His father and Kobe Bryant had the greatest influence on his basketball career.
The best basketball advice anyone ever gave him was “you got it, youngin’.”
The reason he wears No. 55 is because of Jason “White Chocolate” Williams.
