Cody Clark enters his second year as the Sports Information Director at Auburn University at Montgomery.
Clark joined the Warhawks from Gulf South Conference foe Delta State University, where he served as the Media Relations Coordinator and Voice of the Statesmen from February 2020 until July 2022.
A five-year veteran in athletics communications, Clark has covered four NCAA National Champion swimmers, three NCAA baseball tournament appearances, one NCAA Division II World Series, a GSC regular-season baseball championship, a GSC baseball tournament championship, and four NSISC swimming and diving championship teams. He has helped promote four CSC Academic All-Americans, two ITA All-Americans, 33 GSC All-Academic team honorees, 33 CSC Academic All-District selections, 53 All-Americans, 64 All-Region honorees, and 80 All-GSC selections.
Clark ran successful promotional campaigns for three Dave "Boo" Ferriss Trophy Finalists (an annual award given to the Mississippi Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year), two Conerly Trophy Finalists (awarded to the best college football player in the state of Mississippi), and a USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award semifinalist. He also handled the social media campaign for the first player in NCAA Division II history to be named the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings National Player of the Year in consecutive seasons.
While at DSU, Clark was responsible for a variety of aspects of the department, including oversight of digital media strategies and content, as well as the athletics website, publication and graphic design, supervision of graduate assistants, part-time staff and student-workers, and management of the Statesmen Sports Network. Additionally, he served as the radio and live-streaming play-by-play broadcaster for football, men's basketball, and baseball. Additionally, Clark was instrumental in the creation of the Statesmen Nation mobile app.
Clark also spent two years at Delta State from 2016-2018, where he served as an External Relations/Athletic Communications graduate assistant. He worked with the cross country, soccer, basketball, and baseball programs and also served as a broadcaster of soccer matches and midweek radio broadcasts of Statesmen baseball.
Before his second stint with the Statesmen, Clark worked with Hubbard Broadcasting in West Palm Beach, Fla. as the sports update anchor for Fox Sports 640 and as a producer on NewsTalk 850 WFTL.
Following his two years as a graduate assistant, Clark worked with the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Orlando Magic as its Broadcast Coordinator. In that role, he assisted with the day-to-day operations of the Magic Radio Network and served as a locker room correspondent for home games. He also produced halftime features and other audio content and produced Orlando's daily in-season radio show, Magic Drive Time.
"We are excited to have Cody, and his wife Katherine, here in Montgomery with our Auburn University at Montgomery family," Assistant AD for External Relations Tim Lutz said. "Cody has a proven background in professionally promoting programs and student-athletes and brings a wealth of broadcasting experience to our department. His work is well-respected within the Gulf South Conference and across the nation through his involvement with CSC. He is the ultimate team player and conducts himself with class anytime he represents AUM. I look forward to the future of our talented sports information team under Cody's leadership."
A native of Lexington, S.C., Clark earned his undergraduate degree from Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa, where he was a four-year member of the Warriors' cross country and track and field teams. He was a four-time Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete and twice earned All-Conference honors in cross country. He also served as the station manager for KZOW 91.9 FM, Waldorf's student radio station, and was the radio play-by-play announcer for volleyball and men's and women's basketball. Clark earned a Master of Science in Sport and Human Performance with a concentration in Sport Management from Delta State in 2018.
Clark represented AUM and the NCAA Division II South Region on a working group of Athletics Communicators that helped prepare and plan the division's 50th-anniversary celebration throughout the 2023-2024 athletics year. Clark also recently completed Auburn University at Montgomery's AUM Aspire program, a leadership development program for AUM employees.
Clark chairs the GSC Athletics Communicators Committee, serves on the AUM Athletics Hall of Fame committee, and serves as a unit representative on AUM's Staff Council. He is also an active member of the College Sports Communicators (CSC). Clark is a D2CSC men's basketball national poll and South Region poll voter.
