Huskies Target Georgia DL Star in 2028
30 Aug
Summary
- Washington Huskies are pursuing 2028 Georgia defensive lineman Tory Clark.
- Clark is a 6-foot-4, 275-pound prospect from Woodward Academy.
- He has offers from Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, and others.
Washington Huskies coach Jedd Fisch is actively expanding the program's recruiting reach into Georgia for the 2028 class, targeting promising defensive linemen. Among these prospects is Tory Clark, a three-star defensive tackle from Woodward Academy in Atlanta. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 275 pounds, Clark is recognized as the No. 40 defensive lineman nationally by the 247Sports Composite.
Clark holds 26 offers, including from major programs such as Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, and Tennessee. Washington's recruiting director, Marcus Griffin, has fostered a strong connection with Clark since extending an offer in mid-May. This relationship has grown to the point where Clark plans to attend Washington's season opener against Washington State.
On the field, Clark demonstrates impressive power, consistent effort, and effective pass-rushing techniques, making him a potential early contributor. Securing a player of his caliber from the South presents a challenge, particularly with Georgia coach Kirby Smart's program also pursuing him after extending an offer in mid-June. This recruitment battle exemplifies the competitive landscape the Huskies aim to navigate as they establish themselves in the Big Ten.
