BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Delta State University Football's redshirt sophomore running back Nick Clark has earned this week's Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Week. This marks the second consecutive week a Statesmen running back has earned the weekly honors as graduate running back Qualon Farrar earned the honors last week.
 
Clark is the second consecutive Statesmen to earn Offensive Player of the Week this season after rushing for a career high 178 yards and a touchdown in Delta State's 37-33 win against nationally ranked West Alabama last weekend in front of a homecoming crowd in Cleveland.
 
Throughout seven games, Clark has rushed for 500 yards and has scored three touchdowns on the ground. His performance against West Alabama was his second game this season where he has eclipsed the 100-yard mark.
 
During the four-game winning streak, Clark has averaged 119.5 yards per game on the ground and scored three touchdowns while averaging 5.2 yards per carry.
 
The Statesmen hit the road this weekend as they travel to Maryland to take on the Bobcats from Frostburg State University for their final non-conference game of the regular season.
