Yo what?
I’ve never heard of a story so perfectly written. Earth really might be a simulation
Yup, Michael Brewer was the starting QB at Lake Travis High School when Mayfield was a freshman and sophomore, and he led them to state championships both years. His grandpa Charlie Brewer was a Texas state champion in 1951 and the Longhorns QB from 1953-55, his dad was a state champ in 1980 and the Longhorns quarterback from 1981-1982. Both of them beat Bear Bryant on the field.
Michael came onto Texas Tech as a highly recruited QB and redshirted his first year, was the backup his redshirt freshman year, and was supposed to have the starting job his sophomore year until he hurt his back in the summer and Mayfield, his former backup, the walk-on whose only offers had been from Rice, New Mexico, and FAU, came out of nowhere and grabbed the starting job over all the scholarship QBs, then threw for 400 yards and 4 tds in his first ever game. Michael Brewer ended up only throwing 10 passes in mop-up duty all year, at the end of the season he transferred to Virginia Tech and was the starter there for two years.
