Former NBA G League guard TJ Clark has committed to Ole Miss, he told Rivals.
Clark is expected to have two years of eligibility remaining, pending approval from the NCAA. The 22-year-old guard brings an uncommon professional resume to Oxford after spending the past several seasons competing in multiple pro leagues.
The 6-foot-3 Covington, Georgia, native played at Newton High School before signing with Overtime Elite from 2021-23. He then moved to the NBA G League during the 2023-24 season, appearing for the Ontario Clippers and later the Texas Legends. Clark averaged 3.9 points with Ontario before posting 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game with Texas.
Last season, Clark played in Mexico for Rayos de Hermosillo in the Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico, one of the country’s top professional leagues. He averaged 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 42% from the field.
Clark is the fourth former G League player to return to college basketball. He also drew interest from Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Tennessee and others.
