Seahawks rookie safety Bud Clark impresses coaches during training camp

Rookie safety Bud Clark has drawn praise from Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald after a strong practice at training camp.

Bud Clark, the Seattle Seahawks' 2026 fourth-round pick from TCU, is making a notable impression at the team's training camp. Coach Mike Macdonald said Clark's latest practice was his strongest, praising his spirit, communication and on-field execution. The rookie joins a secondary that lost starter Coby Bryant to free agency, leaving Ty Okada as the immediate replacement and Clark vying for snaps.

Julian Love may also be on the roster this season unless he restructures his contract next year. Clark arrives with a college résumé that includes 15 interceptions and 20 pass breakups, suggesting he could develop into a starter by his sophomore year.

Why it matters

The performance of a new draft pick could shape the Seahawks' defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
