Coosa Christian senior linebacker Clete O’Bryant was among 42 finalists for the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s Back/Lineman of the Year awards for the 2024 season.
In nine games, O’Bryant (pictured above) finished with 125 tackles, including 25 for a loss, while helping Coosa Christian post a 9-1 record on the field. He recorded his 500th career tackles this past season for 13th on the AHSAA all-time career tackle list. O’Bryant was also a finalist for the award in 2023.
The winners, along with Mr. Football and the Super All-State team, will be revealed January 28 at a banquet in Montgomery.
