Howard Clark was an All-American end for the Mocs from 1954-57. He broke UTC’s career record with 56 catches over four years.
Clark started his last two seasons, posting 23 receptions for 394 yards and three scores as a junior. That set the school’s single-season mark for catches. He beat that with 26 receptions for 349 yards and a touchdown as a senior in 1957.
His lone TD catch is a famous one in the annals of UTC football. With a scoreless tie in the third quarter of the season finale against Memphis State, Clark wrestled away a 30-yard pass from Johnny Green on the goal line to give UTC its only score in a 7-0 win.
Clark went on to make the Associated Press First Team Little All-American squad after the season. The team captain also took part in the Blue-Gray All-Star game in 1957.
Clark played two seasons with the Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers. He caught 38 passes for 613 yards in 23 games in those two seasons.
