Philadelphia Soul News Release
PHILADELPHIA (February 20, 2012) - The Philadelphia Soul have inked offensive lineman Devin Clark (6'4, 325, New Mexico) for the 2012 season. The former Arizona Rattler becomes the ninth former All-League player - joining Dusty Bear, Jeff Hughley, Tiger Jones, Rayshaun Kizer, Donovan Morgan, Micheaux Robinson, Derrick Ross and Tanner Varner - to sign with the Soul for 2012.
"With players reporting to training camp on Feb. 23, Devin is the final piece to our training camp roster," said Soul general manager Tom Goodhines. "We are excited about the team - players and coaches - that we have assembled for 2012."
"Devin is an extremely talented offensive lineman," said Soul head coach, Doug Plank. "We are impressed with his playing ability and leadership in the locker room. He has the size, strength, and lockdown abilities that will prove to be a huge asset to our team. This is a great addition to our offensive line."
Before signing with the Rattlers in 2010, Devin played in the NFL with the Washington Redskins in 2008. He played in two games, one against division rival Philadelphia Eagles and one against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before being activated, Devin played on the practice squad. He was originally an undrafted free-agent by the Redskins.
He spent two seasons with the Arizona Rattlers (2010-11) and earned Second Team All-Arena honors, while helping lead the squad to an ArenaBowl appearance in 2011.
Before going pro, Devin spent two years at New Mexico (2006-07). While with the Lobos, Clark played in the New Mexico Bowl twice and was named first-team All-Mountain West Conference in his senior year (2007). In high school, he was named to the all-state team as both a junior and a senior. He also participated in the Junior National Olympic Weight Lifting competition.
