“Your Kid Can Do the Littlest Thing and You Cry...”: Ryan Clark Raves About Son Jordan After His CFP Final

Ryan Clarks son, Jordan, recently played in the College Football Playoffs national championship game.

Jordans Notre Dame Fighting Irish lost the contest 34-23, but that result didnt impact anyones view of the teams special season.

In fact, Ryan considers Jordans run to the CFP final to be his familys pinnacle of sports accomplishment.

His admission came on They Call it Late Night with Jason Kelce .

Jordan transferred to Notre Dame in the 2024 offseason.

He spent the first five years of his career at Arizona State.

The Sun Devils had a successful 2024 season, but went just 6-18 from 2022-23.

This gave Jordan a familiar perspective as the Fighting Irish fell behind big in the CFP title game.

Ryan told Kelce other parents noticed how Jordan didnt change his approach amidst that adversity.

At Notre Dame, Jordan totaled 33 (25 solo) tackles, five passes defended, and two interceptions en route to the Championship Game.

During the CFP final, he recorded three tackles, but no sacks or interceptions.

Jordan exhausted his collegiate eligibility this season.

From here, hes headed to the NFL Draft.

FOX Sports analyst Rob Rangs professional comp for Jordan is Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox, a 2018 fourth-round choice.

In November, College Football Networks Cam Mellor pegged Clark as the first pick of the seventh round.

Clarks other children Jaden and Loghan have each embarked on successful professional paths.

But those have less to do with sports.

Jaden earned a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling (MAPC) from the University of San Francisco in Dec.

2023.

Loghan graduated from the Louisiana Culinary Institute and operates Bumbles Bake Shop.

Even if Jordan isnt selected, he could still succeed at the next level.

He need only look to Ryan, an undrafted free agent in 2002, for advice on doing so.

Ryan ultimately steered him in the right direction this offseason.

And with his fathers assistance, Jordan is sure to succeed at whatever he decides to do in his next stage of life..
