MARYSVILLE — It’s every young football player’s dream to play college ball, but for Marysville Getchell’s John Clark he gets to play at his university of choice.

Despite receiving scholarship offers from other NCAA Division 1 schools, Clark is going to walk on at the University of Washington, coach Davis Lura said.

He made his decision during an unofficial visit. Clark was scouted by other schools for his success as a defensive lineman.

“I wanted him to go where he would be happy,” Lura said. “John had a heart for UW, and it’s close to home for him.”

That heart comes from his mom attending that school. He will red-shirt his first.

“When I was in the seventh grade, I wanted to play college football and was a Husky fan,” Clark said.

Clark was drawn by both UW’s football program and academics, where he will be studying pre-medical.

“It’s great; not only do I get to play football but also get a good degree,” he said.
