Red Deer quarterback joins AUS team’s 2015 class.

Saint Mary’s Huskies have announced the addition of Brett Barrett to their football program.

The 6’3, 180 pound quarterback from Red Deer, Alberta will join the team for the 2015 AUS season.

“We are extremely happy to have Brett join our football family,” commented Huskies Head Coach Perry Marchese.

Barrett completed his career with Hunting Hills Lightning of the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA). This past season, he led the league in passing yards, rushing touchdowns and passing touchdowns. Moreover, the Lightning won a League Championship.

Additionally, he started for two seasons at the pivot positon for the Prairie Fire of the Calgary Area Midget Football Association (CAMFA).  Last season, Barrett amassed 1850 passing yards.

“I choose Saint Mary’s because when I went to the school on my visit the coaches and players were all so welcoming to me and really made me feel at home,” explained Barrett of his decision.  “The other guys on the team had a really winning attitude and you could tell they were passionate about football and really have a desire to be the best team is the CIS.”

“There was so much young talent when I was there that I knew there was great potential for the team. The Head Coach [Marchese] never pressured me into making a decision and was honest to me about their quarterback situation the whole time!  Also, the coach was always readily available if I had any questions. I feel like I will be able to learn a ton from the coaching staff as well as meet new people at Saint Mary’s.”
