New QB commit Charlie Brewer chose SMU to play for Chad Morris

The Stang Gang class of 2017 is filling up with 12 players, all from Texas, committed to Southern Methodist. Lake Travis High School, former school of SMU head coach Chad Morris, has contributed two top athletes to Stang Gang ’17.

The tight end, quarterback duo of Cade Brewer and Charlie Brewer (no relation) committed nearly a month apart but their shared connection to coach Morris will get them all the way to the Hilltop.

Quarterback Charlie Brewer, who committed last week, says the end of his recruitment feels like a big sigh of relief.

“It feels really good,” Brewer said. “I mean it’s obviously a pretty tough decision but I just didn’t want to rush it and I wanted to be patient with the process. I’m happy about being a Mustang.”

Brewer is a Rivals three-star, pro-style quarterback who is athletic at 6-foot-1, 188 pounds and a great fit for Morris’s style of offense.

“I really wanted to play for coach Morris so that was a big factor and getting a chance to come in and compete early,” Brewer said. “I like the location of SMU being in Dallas.”

For Brewer, SMU checked off all of his boxes and with the support of his parents and teammates he came to his choice.

“I wouldn’t say Cade convinced me but he definitely would bring up SMU a lot to me and he really wanted me to come to SMU with him,” Brewer said. “My parents said it was 100 percent my decision from the start of recruiting and told me that no matter where I decide to commit that they’re going to support me. They are very high on SMU."

Brewer sees himself playing a major role on his future squad and says he’s just excited to get to play for the coaching staff. The SMU staff has been in rebuild mode especially at the quarterback position and Brewer might be the quarterback they’ve been looking for.

Only time will tell but Brewer looks to follow up a phenomenal season at Lake Travis. In his junior season, Brewer threw for 3,421 yards with 42 touchdowns and 68-percent pass completion.
