The award also recognizes leadership, citizenship, character and sportsmanship on and off the playing field.
"I am incredibly humbled,” Clark said. “It is an honor to be selected for this prestigious award that elects a student-athlete that excels on the court and off. All the finalists are equally as deserving. It is special to represent the University of Iowa on this stage.”Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.

She was the first player in Division I women's history to record over 1,000 points and 300 assists in the same season. The other finalists were former LSU baseball player Dylan Crews, who was drafted by the Washington Nationals, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, Tennessee swimmer Jordan Crooks, Olympic swimmer Kate Douglass and Purdue basketball player Zach Edey.
