Michael Brewer might get his chance to step on Kyle Field again some day. If his weekend is anything like the one he just experienced, it'll be a memorable one.
Brewer, a Texas Tech quarterback commit for 2011, led Lake Travis of Austin, Texas to a state title in the 7-on-7 championships in College Station. He threw four touchdowns to teammate Conner Floyd, who is also being recruited by Texas Tech among others, and beat Desoto (Tex.) 42-39 in the championship game to take home the trophy from the other 31 teams in the championship bracket.
"That was pretty cool, coming out on the first play here in Kyle Field and throwing a touchdown," Brewer told the Bryan/College Station-Eagle.
Both his father and grandfather played for Texas. Floyd took home tournament MVP honors.
"Every game was really tough," Brewer said. "The heat is beating down on everyone and it's really all mental from there. Once we got used to the heat, we kept going and picked it up a little bit."
Jace Amaro, a tight end and another Texas Tech commit, earned All-Tournament team honors along with Brewer and Floyd.
Across the country in Beaverton, Ore. at Nike's "7On," a national 7-on-7 tournament, incoming Oklahoma State quarterback J.W. Walsh of Denton (Texas) Guyer was also impressive, throwing for 386 yards and six touchdowns in a championship game loss to Miami (Fla.) Northwestern.
"It was incredible stuff on both sides," Walsh told ESPN.com. "It was all class on both sides. We've got a lot of respect for them and I think they respect us... We came up a little short, but we left everything we had out there. I guarantee you couldn't have found two teams that would play any harder."
Texas A&M commit Josh Stewart caught one of Walsh's six touchdown passes.
