Competitiveness is a common theme in the Venables household, and it extends beyond just the gridiron.
“It’s a very competitive family — whether it’s girls softball or girls basketball, or we’re out there on the tube or out playing some pickup basketball or in the pool having a flip and dive competition,” said Brent Venables, a father of four who has two sons and two daughters. “It’s a lot of fun, and again, just blessed beyond what I certainly deserve.”
Venables feels blessed to be able to coach one of his sons, redshirt freshman linebacker Jake Venables, at Clemson.
