Charlie Brewer selected to Preseason Maxwell Award List

WACO, Texas – Baylor senior quarterback Charlie Brewer has been named to the preseason watch list for the  84th Maxwell Award presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football by the Maxwell Football Club.

Brewer, entering his fourth season as starter, has previously been recognized as an All-Big 12 selection by Athlon and Phil Steele as well as being named to the preseason watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award. In 2019, he was a honorable mention All-Big 12 pick by the league’s coaches, a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award and a Davey O’Brien semifinalist.

A native of Austin, Texas, Brewer has played in 35 career games with 30 starts. His 7,742 passing yards and 51 touchdown passes rank third and fourth in program history. Brewer’s career completion percentage mark of .641 is second in Baylor’s history to only Robert Griffin III (.671).

Brewer passed for 3,161 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior in 2019, while running for an additional 11 touchdowns. He started all 14 games for the Bears as they posted an 11-3 record including the program’s first Sugar Bowl berth in 64 years.

The Maxwell Award has been presented to the College Player of the Year since 1937 and is named in honor of Robert “Tiny” Maxwell, a former standout at the Swarthmore College and a renowned sports writer and football official.
