New York, NY – Former Millsaps defensive lineman and record setter Sean Brewer will be officially inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame tonight in New York City.
 
Brewer joins 14 other players and two coaches for the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015.  He is also the first member of Millsaps College to receive such an honor.  Tonight's induction marks a series of well-deserved awards for Brewer, as he rewrote the record books not only for Millsaps, but for all of Division III Football as well.
 
Recently, USA Football named the Division III Lineman of the Year Award in Brewer's honor.  He was also selected to the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2016 joining his father, Johnny Brewer - who was inducted in 2004.
 
The College Football Hall of Fame induction will take place tonight during the 58th National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.  Sean Brewer's name will be announced, as his excellent play both on and off the field has represented Millsaps College in the highest possible way.
 
As a player, Sean rewrote the Millsaps, Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) and Division-III record books.  He is the lone defensive lineman in Division-III history to be a three-time first-team All-American, a feat he accomplished in his sophomore to senior seasons (90-92). 
 
Sean was also a two-time Champion USA All-America First Team honoree (1991 and 1992).  He headlined the SCAC's 15-year anniversary team where he was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year (91-92).
 
Sean holds the Majors' all-time records in solo tackles (332), quarterback sacks (52) and is second in total tackles (435), a mark that still stands 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.
 
Sean has also been a great ambassador for Millsaps both on and off the field of play.  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, Mississippi.  Sean is also taking this chance in New York to help others.  With the help of his daughter, Macy and wife, Margaret, Sean brought and distributed care packages to the homeless in New York.  Thanks to Sean's family, 30 care packages have been distributed to those in need in the Manhattan area.
 
A full recap from a press conference held earlier today, as well as photos and audio from the day's festivities can be seen here. 
 
Sean's name will be called as the first ever Major to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.  Tonight marks a great accomplishment for Sean and his family, as Millsaps College is proud to have such a great representative both on and off the field of play.
