MONTGOMERY, Ala. ---- Auburn University at Montgomery Athletics announced the hiring of Cody Clark as the department's new Sports Information Director on Thursday.
 
Clark joins the Warhawks from Gulf South Conference foe Delta State, where he has served as the Media Relations Coordinator and Voice of the Statesmen since February of 2020.
 
"I would like to extend a huge thank you to Chancellor Dr. Carl Stockton, Interim AD Amber Rae Childers, Assistant AD Tim Lutz, and the entire hiring committee for trusting me to lead the AUM athletics communications department," Clark said. "AUM continues to make waves on the national scene as an athletic department and an institution, and I am excited for the chance to promote an amazing group of student-athletes and coaches. My fiancé Katherine and I are excited to get to work supporting the Warhawks!"
 
While at DSU, Clark was responsible for a variety of aspects to promote 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. Clark was also instrumental in the creation of the Statemen Nation App.
 
During his tenure, Clark promoted 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 promoted 21 GSC All-Academic team honorees, three CoSIDA Academic All-District selections, 53 All-Americans, and 64 All-GSC selections. He also 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.
 
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., where he worked 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 NBA's 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 content for air, and also produced Orlando's daily in-season radio show, Magic Drive Time.
 
"We are excited to welcome Cody, and his fiancé Katherine, to Montgomery and the 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 CoSIDA. He is the ultimate team player and will conduct 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 Academic All-American and earned North Star 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 2016.
