Went to a charity event today and ran into a guy who works at Brewer's high school. I asked him what went down with Brewer. Back in winter, ND and Michigan were his top two. He wasn't happy that in the fall PSU only offered him as a walk on.
HH was pretty high on Brewer and they got along well. When Rudolph came in after HH retired, Rudolph wasn't as high on Brewer and as we all know, ND passed. Brewer then went to Mich on a visit and tried to commit there. Harbaugh said they weren't ready for him to commit.
Brewer visited PSU, his high school teammate is enrolled there as an OT, and that's the end of the story. PSU got a steal by deafult.
