Greyson Brewer Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Southwestern had to settle for second even though Greyson Brewer put up the best numbers he has all season. Brewer picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 56 yards.
For the year, Brewer has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 23.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 4.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.71 rushing yards.
