Clark feels at home with Oregon State
Oregon State coaches hosted Trevon Clark on an official visit this weekend and obviously impressed. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound wide receiver made a commitment to the staff on Sunday morning. He then announced his pledge on social media at 4:35 PM PST, letting everyone know that he intends to be a Beaver.
When asked why he committed, Clark points to this weekend visit. He was blown away by how he was treated and everything Oregon State has to offer.
"The visit went so great, as soon as I got there, all the coaches that picked me up, they made me feel welcome," Clark told BeaversEdge.com. "They were treating my mom right, they treated me right. Once we got to the next day, I started looking at everything and the school. That really stood out to me. Coach (Jonathan) Smith, the head coach, he sat me down and we were talking, we had a good conversation. He told me basically that I'd have a great opportunity to get the field and actually play once I do get there. He said that they need a wide out, a big play maker wide out. I was their number one choice and I was the number one receiver they were looking at. So what else can I ask for? It's in the Pac-12, it's close to home and I have a great opportunity to get on the field and compete."
That pitch was enough for Clark. He committed before returning home to Southern California. The Oregon State coaching staff was thrilled to hear the news.
"They had a whole little celebration," Clark said when asked about the reaction to his commitment.
All this happened shortly after wide receiver Kefense Hynson visited El Camino College in Torrance, Calif. to scout Clark. Since then, the Beaver staff fought and clawed and recruited him away from other power five conference schools. They also schemed on how to make Clark an immediate weapon.
"They said they were going to put me in the slot, put me out wide, put me on the mismatches on the field so I can make plays and get the ball,"Clark said when asked how he fits into Oregon State's offense.
Clark will be a junior with a redshirt year available at his next college. He is trying to finish up classes this summer so he can be an early enrollee signee in December.
When asked if he may take another official visit before he enrolls at Oregon State, Clark replies, "No, probably not."
