He set a single-game scoring standard with 47 points his senior year against Southern Oregon. He was a two-time NAIA All-America honorable mention selection (1990-91) after winning Northwest Conference Player of the Year honors those same seasons. Clarkson was also a first-team NAIA District II choice his last two years after leading the Bearcats to back-to-back District II West Division titles in 1990-91.

The Bearcats were 77-38 in Clarkson's four seasons and went a perfect 8-0 in winning four John Lewis Classic championships.
