Elite Arizona running back Christian Clark becomes the third Texas commitment within the last six days.
In perhaps the most underrated commitment for the 2024 cycle, Arizona four-star running back Christian Clark has committed to Texas. His commitment continues Tashard Choice’s reign over running back recruiting in college football.
Last offseason, Choice won over the nation’s No. 1 running back CJ Baxter. Now, he’s landed another unique talent at the position.
Don’t let Clark’s mere four-star rating fool you. He has all the tools to dominate in college football and find a prominent place in an NFL roster’s plans.
The ball carrier from Phoenix put up strong statistics last season. He carried the ball 103 times for 737 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a receiver he nabbed 37 receptions for 368 yards. The highly sought after running back chose Texas over Alabama, Florida State, Georgia and Oregon among others.
Make no mistake about Clark’s importance to the 2024 recruiting class. He is the type of player that will help Texas break games open and compete for championships. Texas will look to add more elite players to its recruiting class over the weekend.

4-star RB Christian Clark announces commitment following visit to Oregon
Following his official visit to Eugene to check out the Oregon Ducks a week couple of weeks ago, 4-star running back Christian Clark announced his commitment on Thursday morning.
Clark will be committing to the Texas Longhorns, choosing them over the likes of Oregon, Georgia, and Florida State.
Clark is rated as the No. 23 RB in the 2024 class, and the No. 286 overall player in the nation. He is from Phoenix, Arizona, and in his junior season, he gathered 1110 yards along with 17 TDs.
The Ducks still have a number of RB targets in the 2024 class, including Mater Dei’s Nathaniel Frazier, who Oregon is in a battle with Georgia to land. Frazier ranks as the No. 4 RB in the class, and No. 58 overall player. The Ducks are also in the mix for 4-star Jason Brown and 4-star Ca’lil Valentine as well.

4-star RB Christian Clark, puts Oregon in his top five schools
It appears that RB coach, Carlos Locklyn, and head coach, Dan Lanning have drawn interest from another elite running back. In the class of 2023, it was Dante Dowdell and Jayden Limar, and in 2024 it could be 4-star Christian Clark, who has named the Ducks one of his top five schools.
Clark is from Phoenix, Arizona, and in his junior season, he gathered 1110 yards along with 17 TDs. Clark is one of a few 2024 RBs that have shown an interest in Oregon, along with 4-star, Ca’lil Valentine and 4-star Anthony “Turbo” Rogers. Currently, Clark is ranked by 247Sports as the 22nd-best RB in the class of 2024.
If the Ducks are able to land even one of these high-quality RB prospects, they are on the verge of building a running back dynasty. With the success of the 2022 transfer additions, Bucky Irving and Noah Whittington, along with the potential of Dowdell and Limar, the Ducks could create a pattern of landing and developing elite RBs for years to come.
One of the top rated running backs in the 2024 recruiting cycle is set to make an official visit to Texas.
One of the top rated running backs in the 2024 recruiting cycle is set to make an official visit to Texas. Inside Texas reports Christian Clark is expected to make the trip to Austin in June.
247Sports’ composite lists Clark as the No. 3 player in the state of Arizona and a top-300 prospect nationally. He holds close to 30 offers, including Alabama, Georgia, USC and Florida State.
Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice sees Clark as a potential star.
“He said that when he watched my film. He was like, ‘this is literally a mini Bijan, another one.’ That means a lot, that he recognizes my talent for Bijan’s because I think he should be a top-five pick this year.”
Clark rushed for 737 yards and 11 touchdowns on seven yards per carry, also showing versatility by snagging 37 passes for 368 yards and five scores in his junior season. He is a hard-nosed runner with excellent breakaway speed and physicality.
Texas sits in good shape with the talented ball carrier. The Longhorns received a recent recruiting prediction for Clark in their favor.

Running back recruit Christian Clark has excellent balance and vision
The Georgia Bulldogs have extended a scholarship to class of 2024 running back recruit Christian Clark. Clark is an unranked recruit.
The junior running back plays high school football for Mountain Pointe High School in Phoenix, Arizona. He has recent scholarship offers from Miami, Alabama, UCLA, Washington and Florida State, so he will be ranked soon.
The 6-foot, 195-pound running back’s father attended Marshall. Christian Clark recently visited Oregon and Arizona. Will he stay out west or play college football in another part of the country?
On film, Clark shows good balance and vision. He has the speed to score lengthy touchdown runs and is a very shifty runner. The Mountain Pointe standout also plays safety, but he is primarily considered a running back prospect.
