STATS PERFORM – Indiana State defensive back Kimal Clark was named to the Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-American Team as announced by the organization on Tuesday afternoon as the rising senior defensive back picks up his first preseason nod of the year.
 
Clark, a transfer from Central Connecticut State, was named to the Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-American Third Team, marking the lone Sycamore to be honored on the squad. He was one of 24 players from the Missouri Valley Football Conference to be named to the list this season.
 
The Lackawanna, N.Y. native is the reigning Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year after setting the Central Connecticut State record in tackles (117), while adding three pass breakups. He was also honored as a Stats Perform Third Team All-American postseason selection following the 2024 season.
 
Clark looks to lead an Indiana State defense that lost its top six tackling leaders, including the 17th member of the Sycamores' 300-tackle club, Geoffrey Brown. He is set to join with MVFC All-Newcomer selection Jorge Valdes to provide a powerful 1-2 punch in the Sycamore secondary.
 
Clark recorded five double-digit tackling efforts in the 2024 season on his way to finishing 16th in FCS in solo tackles (5.1) and 26th overall in total tackles (9.0) per game. He recorded a career-high 18-tackle game against Massachusetts, while adding 13 stops in games against both Fordham and Robert Morris.
 
Clark is set to be one of the leaders in the new-look defense under first-year defensive coordinator David Elson and joins Dallas Westhoff, Lucas McAllister, Valdes, and Braxton Sampson among the top Sycamores returning on the defensive side of the ball.
