The only defensive lineman in Division III history to earn First Team All-America honors three times, Sean Brewer established himself as the most dominant defender in Millsaps history. He becomes the first Major to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.
One of only five players in Division III history to be named a three-time First Team All-American, Brewer twice earned Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. The only three-time All-American in conference history, he was a First Team All-SCAC selection all four years of his career. Brewer’s 435 career tackles rank fourth in conference history, and he owns the SCAC and school records for solo tackles in a season, racking up 99 in 1992. Brewer remains the Majors' all-time leader in solo tackles (332) and quarterback sacks (52), and he ranks second in total tackles with 435. Playing for coach Tommy Ranager, he also set the college’s single-season record with 15 sacks his senior season.
In recognition of his outstanding career, the Division III Defensive Lineman of the Year Award was named the Sean Brewer Award in 2013. He is a member of the SCAC’s 15th Anniversary Team, and he earned induction into the Millsaps Hall of Fame in 2004.
After receiving his degree in 1993, Brewer went on to a successful career in education. In 2010, he was named the NASSP/Virco Assistant Principal of the Year for the state of Mississippi while working at Ridgeland High School. Brewer currently serves as principal at Rosa Scott High School in Madison, Miss.
