Davarious Clark is no stranger to facing – and beating – adversity. The senior two-way star at Hooks High School will not let anything get in the way of accomplishing his goals and reaching his dreams.

Clark missed three consecutive seasons from 2016 to 2018. He dislocated his shoulder in the second game of his eighth grade season. Clark recovered in time for basketball season, but was then diagnosed with nephrosis, a kidney disorder. He was forced to change his diet and eating habits in order to live a healthy life and get back on the football field.
