ATLANTA, GA- A three-time first-team All-American in Division-III , Millsaps Majors' great Sean Brewer (B.S. 1992) has been selected for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Brewer will be officially inducted on December 8th, 2015 at the annual National Football Foundation Awards ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Brewer rewrote the Millsaps, Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) and Division-III record books during his hall of fame career (89-92). Brewer is the lone defensive linemen in Division-III history to be a three-time first-team All-American, a feat he accomplished his sophomore through senior seasons (90-92). Brewer was also a two-time Champion USA All-America First Team honoree (1991 and 1992).
Brewer headlined the SCAC's 15-year anniversary team where he was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year (91-92). Brewer holds the Majors' all-time records in: solo tackles (332), quarterback sacks (52) and is second in total tackles (435), a mark that sits fourth in SCAC history. He also holds the Millsaps and SCAC single-season record in solo tackles (99) and the Millsaps' record for sacks (15). He was inducted into the Millsaps' Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.
"Brewer was a great player, unstoppable," Millsaps baseball coach Jim Page said. Page was a defensive assistant during Brewer's career. "I mainly coached the secondary and we had one of the better units in the nation," Page said. "We were good, but we knew our success had a lot to do with the havoc that Sean wreaked on every play."
"He was certainly a game-changer, someone we always had to prepare for," Trinity (Tx) head coach Steve Mohr said. "I had the privilege to coach some great players on great teams and he certainly was in that class of player, someone who was head and shoulders better than the players in our conference." Mohr added. "This is certainly a well deserved and overdue honor for him."
Brewer has also shined off the gridiron. After receiving his degree, Brewer went on to a successful career in education. In 2010, he was named the NASSP/Virco Assistant Principal of the Year for the state of Mississippi while working at Ridgeland High School. Brewer currently serves as principal at Rosa Scott High School in Madison, Miss.
This is the second straight year a prestigious honor has been bestowed on Brewer. Last year, USA Football honored Sean Brewer when they named the Division-III Defensive Lineman of the Year Award in his honor.
