October 23, 2021 | Billy Splain
It’s not often you see a quarterback that’s 6-5, 250 pounds. That’s what I say to myself every time I say Clearfield play. Oliver Billotte is that QB. That said, it’s his destructive force on defense that teams aspired to have in their programs. Billotte had offers from several schools, but after a visit to […]
