“He just spent one too many times on the dark side of life, and it caught up with him,” Terry Brennan said to the AP about his son.
At Hawaii, Brennan was a three-year starter breaking or tying 31 NCAA records with his big arm. In 2007, he finished third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, the first for a Hawaii passer. That year, he led Hawaii to an undefeated regular season and became the NCAA’s all-time leader in touchdown passes. The record has since been broken.
He led the nation in 2006 in several categories, including total offense (422.5), touchdown passes (58), and passing efficiency (185.96).
2021 Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Awards: RIP Colt Brennan Edition
In memoriam
Former Washington Redskins 6th round draft pick Colt Brennan has reportedly passed away at the way-too-young age of 37. Brennan was a star in college at the University of Hawaii and brought that hype with him to Washington in 2008. Brennan was a cult sensation during his brief time here, and was the inspiration for the annual Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Awards here at Hogs Haven.
This was started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to players that fans push to the moon before they play a snap, or after one great performance in the preseason. But it also puts the focus on some of the unheralded players who fans hype up and have a fighter’s chance at making Washington’s roster. Colt Brennan was a great college player that lit up the preseason, but injuries and other issues saw him flame out in the NFL early. RIP Colt and thanks for the inspiration.
