Shawn Clark dies at 50: UCF assistant, former Appalachian State coach recently suffered 'medical emergency'
Clark coached his alma mater for five full seasons and most recently joined Scott Frost's staff at UCF
By Brad CrawfordUCF offensive line coach Shawn Clark died unexpectedly Sunday evening, nearly two weeks after suffering a "medical emergency," the university announced. Clark, who turned 50 in August, joined Scott Frost's staff with the Knights during the offseason after a five-year stint as Appalachian State's coach.
Clark suffered the medical emergency earlier this month during UCF's bye week on Sept. 9 and remained hospitalized in stable condition.
"Shawn was so much more than a coach. He was a remarkable man, husband, and father who cared deeply about his players and staff," said UCF coach Scott Frost in a statement. "The reaction of our players and coaches to the news this morning is a testament to Shawn's character and the impact he had on every life that he touched. He was loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jonelle, and children, Giana and Braxton. We are here to support them and will continue to keep them in our hearts and prayers."
