Belle Vernon Head Coach Matt Humbert: “Quinton is a generational player. That is not just referring to his contributions as a football player but more so as an ambassador of how it is done. Our mottos of ‘Do your job’ and ‘Lay brick’ are on full display in everything that he does. The way he handles the grind and adversity placed upon him daily is a testament to a buy-in that has propelled us to two state championships. Him and his teammates’ buy-in to the program is unrivaled.”
