Bears Stay Hot With Commitment from Clark
The Bears picked up their third 2024 recruit from their final official visit weekend of the summer with the verbal commitment today from Garfield (Seattle, WA) High School wide receiver Rahshawn Clark. The 6-0/180 athlete will join his Garfield teammate EJ Caminong in the Bears’ 2024 class.
Clark credited his experiences at Cal on his unofficial visit with his mom in April as well as his official visit two months later with preparing him for his decision today along with the knowledge that he’s long been high on the Bears’ target list.
"I would say definitely the vibe I got on campus, even my unofficial visit to my OV and definitely how much of a priority they've made me since they started recruiting me were big for me," Clark said.
In addition, Clark’s Garfield teammate and close friend EJ Caminong committing this week added to the versatile comfort level in choosing the Bears.
"Yes, sir. That's my guy,” Clark said. “What we could do together at Cal was definitely in our conversation."
An equally strong recruit at both receiver and DB, does Clark favor either offense or defense at the next level?
"I would say no, I can play anywhere on the field," Clark said. "So I just want to play where I best help the team."
As for what he’s most looking forward to in the next year as he prepares for his next stop at Cal: "Definitely just growing more into myself as a player and getting to know me as a football player because they see me as a safety or in the nickel," Clark said. "So definitely just really locking down my position coaches and working hard."
The bond that Clark has developed over the course of his recruitment has added to his comfort level with the program.
"Honestly, I love the whole staff," Brown said. "But who has been recruiting the most is definitely coach Tre Watson and Coach TB, Terrance Brown."
Clark and Caminong spent a lot of time with another of Cal’s primary targets, WR David Washington and have also made him a priority target for them as well.
"David's definitely a guy we're trying to get," Clark said. So we're working on that. Definitely. David's a great guy. That's why me and EJ are trying to get him over to Cal because he's a great individual. That's what we're crossing our fingers for."
Clark played both ways at receiver and cornerback last season for Life Christian Academy before transferring to Garfield, but is being recruited by Cal at DB, though he’d likely get his shot on either side of the ball.
The Bears beat out Oregon, Washington, Utah, Michigan State and more for Clark's commitment.
The 4 star athlete is the Bears’ 10th commitment of the 2024 class so far, joining QB Caminong, RB Jamaal Wiley, WR Trevor Rogers, TE Camden Jones OT Tyler Knape, DE Michael-Anthony Okwura, LB Eze Osondu, safety Brooklyn Cheek and DB Dayton Aupiu.
