OL Michael Brewster (official thread)

[EastSide]

I watched the game on the webcast and it was rough. I am glad they got it going in the 2nd half.

It was cool to see Brewster in action. They had a couple of nice interview clips with Mike during the game and he definitely looks good on the Big Screen, very confident and poised.

Edgewater survived a stiff test in its high school football season opener last week.

The Eagles, ranked No. 1 in the Sentinel Super 6, weren't as fortunate Friday night.

B.J. Daniels accounted for all five touchdowns as host Tallahassee Lincoln knocked off the Eagles 35-28. Kissimmee Osceola, which beat Clermont East Ridge 44-3, is expected to take over the top spot in the Super 6 rankings when they are released Monday.

i love how he got in the face of his teammate after he got into the fight on the field!!!

[B-town Buckeye]

Great video, lots of Brewster clips in there. Showed why he's so highly touted, no doubt. Extremely impressive.

agreed. best part of the video. he didn't just get in his face; he tossed him to the side.

[OregonBuckeye]

Yep, reminded me of what Jake Long did in the Oregon game.

[OSUnumber45]

You gotta love that type of leadership from Brewster. He was just mauling guys in that clip.

Nobody works harder or is more dedicated to his team than Edgewater 300-pound offensive lineman Mike Brewster

By Lucas O?Neill

This past April, Edgewater football star Mike Brewster announced his intention to attend college at Ohio State. Weeks later, Brewster was still receiving dozens of text messages per week from some of the country?s top programs.

So he changed his cell phone number and deleted all the contact information he had from other colleges. It?s not that he wasn?t flattered by the attention, but he was very much at peace with his decision to become a Buckeye.

?I wasn?t trying to be malicious toward anyone,? Brewster says. ?It?s just a respect thing for Ohio State. I gave them my commitment.?

?I play with a lot of passion,? Brewster says. ?I was just born with a real nasty mean streak that comes out in my game. People wouldn?t think that because I?m a nice guy and I?m laid back. When I get out there I?m really going to try to punish the opponent.?

Gierke, who in addition to serving as head coach also mentors the offensive line, says Brewster is perhaps the best blocker he?s ever had for one simple reason.

?I don?t think I?ve ever coached a lineman with this kind of work ethic,? Gierke says. ?His desire to be good is second to none, and I think that really sets him apart. He is tremendously focused on what he wants to accomplish.?

?It?s going to be good getting back to the Midwest,? says Brewster, who lived in Kansas City, Mo., until he was 5. ?It just felt right.?

?The first time I met him he told me he really wanted to go to Ohio State, so it didn?t surprise me that he committed early,? adds Gierke.

He?s taking classes at Valencia Community College that count toward both high school and college requirements, earning credits that should allow him to graduate in December and get a head start at OSU.

Scout.com: The Making of the Brew Crew: Part 3a

I believe this part of Bill Greene's "Making of the Brew Crew" is free...they have been some of the best recruiting articles I have ever read, so if you can read this one, have at it...

Part 1 was about Adams and Part 2 was about Stoneburner...

[BengalsAndBucks]

Wow. What a great read and an amazing story.

['BusNative]

For whatever reason, parts 1 & 2 are Insider and the most recent one (3a) is free... not sure if that will change
