Former Arizona, Texas QB Connor Brewer transferring to Northern Arizona
Connor Brewer says he is headed to Northern Arizona.
Brewer, a four-star recruit in the 2012 class who started his career at Texas and spent the last two seasons at Arizona, announced his intent to transfer from UA in January. On Thursday, he announced on his Instagram account that he’ll finish his career at FCS Northern Arizona.
“After these wild few years of college, I have officially decided that my last stop will be at Northern Arizona University,” Brewer wrote. “I will pursue my graduate degree and have two more years of football to play. I am excited to get on the field again and to finally show people what I am capable of.”
The 6-foot-2, 206-pound Brewer redshirted in his only season at Texas. He had to sit out the 2013 season at Arizona due to the NCAA’s transfer rules and then fell behind Anu Solomon and Jesse Scroggins on the Wildcats’ depth chart last season. He appeared in two games for the Wildcats last season and did not attempt a pass, though he did score a three-yard rushing touchdown against UNLV.
A native of Scottsdale, Ariz., Brewer has two years of eligibility remaining and will be able to play immediately.
The Lumberjacks went 7-5 (5-3 Big Sky) in 2014.
