Wyatt Clements has every reason to brag.

After a season where he led the area in rushing yards, set a school record for touchdowns and received All-State recognition, you couldn't blame the Lehighton senior for gloating at least a little bit.But boasting about his own accolades doesn't seem to be part of Clements' DNA.Ask him about his impressive offensive numbers and he credits his team's balance and his coach's play-calling.Question his outstanding defensive play and he talks about the entire success of the Indians' linebackers.Inquire about his leadership skills on a team that won a league title and he raves about the makeup of the younger players."That's exactly the kind of kid he is," Lehighton head coach Tom McCarroll said. "He was the kind of guy that, as much as he wanted to get the ball and make plays, always gave credit to his team and was always a team-first kind of guy. And to be honest, as good as his stats were, they could have been even better."Clements' statistics were more than good enough to be named the Times News Football Player of the Year.He led all TN players with 1,669 rushing yards and tied for the lead with 24 touchdowns. He had at least 100 yards in 11 of his 12 games (finishing with 95 in the one he didn't reach the century mark) and scored at least one TD in every contest. On defense, he made 132 tackles, 14 for loss.Of all the statistics, though, the only one that mattered to him was 10."Coming into the season I really didn't have any personal goals," Clements said. "I just wanted to do my part to help the team go 10-0 in the regular season."The seniors made sure we hammered the word (to do what it takes to go 10-0). We were in the weight room every single time we had a team lift together and after team lifts, a couple players would go to the gym and get some extra work in."One of those players getting extra work was Clements. The 6-2, 220-pounder was constantly pumping iron, trying to get stronger for his final high school season.The extra work obviously paid dividends. Not only did he reach a bench press of 405 and a squat of 505, but those who saw him play witnessed the punishment he gave out on both sides of the ball."Anybody who sees Wyatt, that's what they expect because he's big, he's physical and he's well-built," McCarroll said. "Watching him run over guys, watching him drag guys, it was fun. A guy with that ability and size doesn't come around too often so it was nice to have that luxury.""I liked it when someone tried to tackle me and they thought they were going to put a hit on me and I put a hit on them," said Clements. "I'm sure that made them think twice about tackling me the next play. That's why it was fun to play offense."The senior, who is 12th in his class, also enjoyed the abuse he dealt on defense. And he did it while learning a new position.Clements, who made his mark for three years as an outside linebacker, was moved inside prior to this season."Everything I got from college coaches was that he projects to be an inside linebacker at the next level," McCarroll said. "We were, OK let's make sure we can make that transition for him without hurting our team. We were able to do that, and not only was that transition seamless but it exceeded our expectations."Clements, who was also the team's holder on extra points, hopes to make another transition next fall - playing college football.The son of Leo and Penny Clements has yet to decide on where he will attend, but he plans on majoring in criminal justice and hopes to make an immediate impact on the field.Whatever happens at the next level, he'll always have fond memories of 2015."It was a special season with a special group of guys," Clements said. "And it was also special for the community. The support from them was huge. Without it we wouldn't have succeeded the way we did."Personally, I received support from so many people - my parents, my brother Leo. I also want to thank my friend Chrissy, my trainer, Steve Strauss, the coaching staff, my players around me for pushing me, Brandon Williams for all his help, and my uncle Hilbert Green."
