“If Cameron makes a big play,
he most likely will point to the sky
or to his family. If Brennan makes
a big play then he may not gesture
as big,” their father said.
In addition to their gridiron ac-
complishments, both players are
also accomplished in the class-
room and for giving back to the
community.

coach at Central Catholic has wit-

“Both have been stewards of
their gifts in the classroom, com-
munity and service wise. It was
great of our school to be able to
have had them,” Pyne said.
Knowing how productive Cam-
eron was on offense and how
dominate Brennan was on defense
their former coach expects the
brothers will be a big asset play-
ing on the same team for Stanford.

nan playing together in conversa-
tion. After a few talks, I mentioned
to Brennan about getting a gradu-
ate degree at Stanford,” Cameron
said. “It’s the best place to get a
graduate degree.”
After mulling over scholarship
offers, Cameron committed to
Stanford, and Brennan was ac-
cepted into Stanford’s graduate
program in management, science
and engineering. Although this

brothers has been forged upon the
strength of their relationship to

“Family is going to be there
for you… We’ve always been big
on being there for our kids,” said
their father Paul Scarlett, who is
employed in Portland as director

his sons in a workout.
For Brennan and Cameron,
their tenure as teammates will
only last for a season at Stanford
but the experience as players on
the same team will remain a stand-
out moment in their lives.
“Kids dream about it (playing
with your brother) but I value this
experience, says Cameron Scar-
lett.

relationship with the Scarlett fam-
ily dates back to the 2000s when
he attended Holy Redeemer Cath-

both Brennan and Cameron.
