Brown’s versatile veteran in the middle: Courtland Clavette brings proven toughness and IQ
In the 2014 season, Courtland Clavette was a 6-foot-3, 235-pound Brown defender listed as a senior linebacker/long snapper, with a reputation for durability, versatility, and a high football IQ that coaches clearly trusted in multiple roles.[1][3] His background as a three-sport athlete and team captain in high school hints at the competitive edge and reliability that translate well to special teams and depth defense, even if his profile is more about glue-guy consistency than splashy stat lines.[6]
