Charlie Brewer (born November 26, 1998) is an American football quarterback who is a free agent. He played college football for the Baylor Bears, Utah Utes and Liberty Flames. He has been a member of the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Early life

Brewer grew up in Austin, Texas and attended Lake Travis High School.[1] As a senior, Brewer was named the Associated Press Texas Player of the Year after setting a national high school record with a 77.4% completion rate on 340 pass attempts for 3,908 yards and 54 touchdowns against three interceptions and ran for 746 yards and nine touchdowns on 88 attempts in a season in which Lake Travis won the Class 6A State Championship.[2] Brewer initially committed to play college football at SMU, but flipped his commitment to Baylor at the end of his senior season.[3]

College career

Brewer became Baylor's starting quarterback eight games into his freshman season. He started the final four games of the season and was named the Big 12 Conference co-Offensive Freshman of the Year after completing 68.1% of his passes for 1,562 yards with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.[4][5] Brewer started 12 of Baylor's 13 games and passed for 3,019 yards and 19 touchdowns with an additional 375 yards and 7 touchdowns rushing as the Bears won seven games in his sophomore season.[6]

Brewer was named honorable mention All-Big 12 after completing 215-of-389 pass attempts for 3,161 yards and 21 touchdowns with seven interceptions while also gaining 344 yards on 147 carries with a team-high 11 touchdowns as the Bears went 11–1 in the regular season and made the 2019 Big 12 Championship Game.[7] He started the game, but was taken out after suffering a concussion early in the second quarter as the Bears went on to lose to Oklahoma 30–23 in overtime.[8] Brewer returned to start the 2020 Sugar Bowl against Georgia and completed 24-of-41 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and one interception before again leaving the game to injury after taking a late hit.[9] As a senior, he completed 61.7% of his passes for 1,958 yards with 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions in nine games during a COVID-19-shortened season.[10] At Baylor, Brewer threw for 9,700 yards and 65 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,039 yards and 22 touchdowns in 44 games played.[11]

After graduating from Baylor, Brewer opted to enter the transfer portal and utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic.[12] He later announced that he would be transferring to Utah as a graduate transfer.[13] Brewer was named the Utes' starting quarterback going into the 2021 season.[14] Brewer started the first three games of the season before leaving the program after he was benched during a 33–31 triple-overtime loss to San Diego State.[15] He completed 48 of 79 pass attempts for 484 yards and three touchdowns and three interceptions while at Utah.[16]

On December 11, 2021, Brewer announced that he was transferring to Liberty University for the 2022 season.[17] He was named the Flames' starting quarterback prior to the start of the season.[18] Brewer broke his hand in the first quarter of Liberty's season opener against Southern Miss.[19]
