Kenneth R. Clark (June 17, 1966 – February 16, 2013) was an American professional football player from Evergreen, Alabama who played running back for three seasons for the Indianapolis Colts.
Clark was a two-time All Big-Eight running back for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1986 to 1989. Following a redshirt season in 1986, Clark played sporadically as a sophomore, appearing in eight games before suffering a knee strain.[1] He rushed for over 1,000 yards in both his junior and senior seasons, and as of 2012, his three-year rushing total of 3,037 yards ranks seventh on Nebraska's all-time leaders in that category. He averaged 6.1 yards per carry for his college career. His career highlight came during his junior season in a 1988 game against Oklahoma State where he outgained eventual Heisman trophy winner Barry Sanders 256 yards to 189 and also scored three touchdowns, the first on a dazzling 73-yard run on Nebraska's first play from scrimmage.[2]
