From Clatterbaugh’s Head Coach Brian Lowery: “Brett is a tremendous young man who shines not only on the field but off it as well. In 13 years of coaching, Brett has set himself apart as a leader, a warrior, and a student. Brett has been an undisputed leader since freshman year, and he has earned numerous all-district, all-region, and all-state honors for his level of play. While standing out as a player, Brett has also shined in the classroom by being respectful, focused, and supportive of both his teachers and his classmates. I am proud to have coached Brett throughout his high school journey, and I know he will be a tremendous asset to the Virginia Tech football program.”
