Today on twitter, according to Head Football Coach Steve Devlin, tweeted “Congrats to @ArchbishopWood RB – Jarrett McClenton (2015) on committing to play football at Villanova @woodfootball @novafootball”

McClenton is a 5-foot-10, 175-pound running back that had offers from Albany, Bucknell, Central Connecticut, Holy Cross, Lafayette and Rhode Island.

“Villanova was always high on his list,” said Devlin. “He’s real excited to play there and continue his academics and plus it’s close to home.”

Last season Jarrett led Wood in rushing. He rushed for 1,705 yards on 177 carries and 28 touchdowns. He caught nine passes for 161 yards and one touchdown.

On defense he had two interceptions.

His team won the PIAA Class 3A title last year and finished 13-2. In the state championship game against Bishop McDevitt, Jarrett rushed for 238 yards and two touchdowns.
