Former Utah and Baylor transfer Charlie Brewer, who will be in his sixth year of eligibility, has been named starting quarterback for the Liberty Flames by coach Hugh Freeze
Brewer, who will be in his sixth year of eligibility, started 39 career games for Baylor from 2017-20 and quarterbacked the Bears to the Big 12 conference championship game in 2019. He began his Baylor career under Matt Rhule, who left to take the Carolina Panthers’ head-coaching job in 2020. Brewer’s 9,700 passing yards and 65 touchdowns rank second on the Bears’ career list.
Brewer suffered multiple concussions at Baylor and was knocked out of the 2020 Sugar Bowl with a neck injury he suffered on a late hit by Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker.
