TCU Horned Frog safety Bud Clark, a sixth-year redshirt senior, has accepted an invitation to participate in the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl on Jan. 31 in Mobile, Alabama after the 2025 season. A two-time All-Big 12 Second Team selection in 2024 and 2025 and an Honorable Mention in 2022, Clark has compiled 212 total tackles, 136 solo tackles, 33 pass breakups, 15 interceptions, 3.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over his six-year career in Fort Worth. Clark has played
in 60 games during his time with TCU.
Clark was an integral part of the team’s run to the national title game in 2022, when he posted a career-best five interceptions and returned an interception for a touchdown during TCU’s 51-45 win over Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder from Alexandria, Louisiana signed with the Horned Frogs as a four-star high school prospect. Clark, who will join tight end and teammate DJ Rogers at the Senior Bowl, has recorded at least three interceptions and at least six pass breakups in each of his last four seasons.
