Minnesota coach Glen Mason said a mix of better conditioned players and a faster paced game have contributed to the demise of the ironman. Although Brewer hasn't been on the field every down for Minnesota this season, Mason likes the attitude Brewer brings to the team. Jack is kind of a jack of all trades. He's not a burner, he is more of a possession type receiver, but he's a tough guy. He likes football and he's a contact player.
People live and die for it.
You can be undersized or underweight, but people have big hearts in Texas when they ball. The Texas-sized heart gives Brewer his toughness, but it didn't come to Minnesota right out of high school though. Brewer, who had a strong but unhappy freshman year at SMU, credits defensive coordinator David Gibbs for encouraging him to leave the football-crazy state of Texas for the upper Midwest. Now, Brewer gets to head back with the Gophers to face a Baylor team that went 0-8 in the Big 12 last season. Brewer's hoping to show his ability as a two-way player to his contingent of fans.
