Dallas Clark          

Dallas Clark attended Twin River Valley High School and lived in Bode, Iowa. He walked-on to the Hawkeyes in 1998 for Hayden Fry.

He redshirted in 1998, then missed the 1999 season due to injury. He eventually played on special teams as a linebacker in 2000. Prior to the 2001 season, the Kirk Ferentz coaching staff decided to move Clark to the tight end position, and again the decision turned out to be a smart choice.

In 2001, he caught 38 passes for 539 yards and four touchdowns, earning honorable mention all-Big Ten. He received a scholarship after the season.

In 2002, he started all 13 games. He had a breakout game against Purdue, when he caught three passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns from Brad Banks. The first catch was 95 yards, which was the longest pass play in Kinnick Stadium history and the second longest in school history. The other catch was a game-winning touchdown with 1:07 left in the game when the Hawks were down by 4.

Clark was the 2002 recipient of the John Mackey Award which is presented to the most outstanding tight end in college football, a first-team All-Big Ten selection, and a unanimous first-team All-American.

He skipped his final year of eligibility, and entered the NFL Draft. He was chosen in the first round of the 2003 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts.

He played 11 seasons in the NFL, Indianapolis Colts (2003–2011), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012), and Baltimore Ravens (2013). He won a Super Bowl with the Colts in the 2006 season. He was named to the All-Rookie Team in 2003, and was All-Pro in 2009, and named NFL Alumni Tight End of the Year. He ended his career with 5,665 in receiving yardage, averaging 11.2 yards per catch, and 53 touchdowns.

In 2016, he was named to the America Needs Farmers Wall of Honor at Kinnick Stadium. In 2022, he was named to the UI Hall of Fame
