Brett Brumbaugh, the record-setting quarterback from South Fayette High School, plead guilty Monday to defiant trespass and disorderly conduct, two summary offenses that carry a $300 fine.

The charges stem from an incident in late June at Hickory Heights Golf Club in Bridgeville, when Brumbaugh and another male ran through several yards in Bridgeville in an attempt to elude the South Fayette police and were eventually apprehended behind the club’s clubhouse. Brumbaugh, 18, was charged with resisting arrest and loitering and prowling at nighttime, a third-degree misdemeanor.

Brumbaugh, a Duquesne University football recruit, appeared at his hearing before District Judge Maureen McGraw-Desmet wearing a tie, a white dress shirt and dress pants. Brumbaugh, the WPIAL’s all-time leader in passing yardage,was accompanied by his father, Randy.

Brumbaugh’s attorney, Terry Ging of Pittsburgh, said the two charges will remain on Brumbaugh’s record for five years before they can be expunged. He also said the charges should not affect his client’s scholarship to Duquesne.

“I hope not,” said Ging, who described the summary charges as being akin to non-traffic offenses.

Instead of waiting in McGraw-Desmet’s lobby for the hearing to begin, Brumbaugh waited in his father’s SUV that was parked in the lot, or outside by the side of the building. His father told him not to talk to a reporter and his father also twice declined comment.

Brumbaugh, who is expected to be redshirted this fall by Duquesne, is the two-time winner of the Observer-Reporter’s Football Player of the Year honor. He was also named The Almanac’s 2015 Male Athlete of the Year.
