Unleashing the Athletic Multitasking, College Football QB Tees up for Georgia’s Golf Challenge

If only everyone had the luck and opportunity, like the non-scholarship rookie quarterback of the Yellow Jackets football team! Colson Brown, perhaps one of the luckiest college football freshmen, recently made an exhilarating announcement that he’ll be playing this week with the Georgia Tech golf team. And he gets to play in one of the most coveted and popular golf courses in the world! 

Filling in for a redshirt junior, Georgia Tech walk-on QB Colson Brown just went ahead of himself before he even saw the Yellow Jackets’ football field. In a situation where head coach Bruce Heppler fell short of one player, Brown fits the perfect bill as a short-notice athlete who gets to shine in the spotlight before even playing for the football team. 

Colson Brown – A two-way sports rising star

In a recent X post by Golf Digest, Colson Brown is hailed a hero as he gets picked by the golf team to play at the 3rd greatest golf course in America. The caption reads, “Colson Brown’s college experience is off to a pretty good start. Freshman Quarterback to play for Georgia Tech golf team at Cypress Point on Monday.“

This week, starting QB Colson Brown is reporting for double duty. Georgia golf has met with a rare occurrence that clashes the Cypress Point Classic and the East Lake Cup on the same day this year. The East Lake Cup will take place at the nearby Atlanta Athletic Club, while the Cypress Point Classic will happen at the Monterey Peninsula Club. And the tournaments require 11 golf players.

The problem that crept up was that Heppler fell short of one player with just ten players because of Redshirt Ben Reuter, who’s sitting out the season. His choice was to withdraw or find a replacement. Needless to say, Georgia Tech’s head coach found a way to bring Colson Brown into the game. On Wednesday evening, Colson Brown took to his Twitter to post the following message, “Beyond excited and blessed to announce my commitment to Georgia Tech! Go Jackets!“

Debuting with a sport Colson Brown didn’t go to college for

Coldon Brown’s main goal is to be a football quarterback. But that doesn’t mean he’s had a vibrant college sports past. He is a three-sport athlete at North Augusta High School in South Carolina. In addition to being both a football and soccer player, he has also served as the punter with an average of 33 yards per punt.

Although Colson Brown is already a part of the Georgia Tech football team, he is still unlisted on the team’s QB depth chart. He is still yet to experience any action over the eight games so far. So the head coach and Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke had no issues letting Brown substitute Ben Reuter in the golf tournament. 

The Cypress Point tournament will have a major impact on Colson Brown, who can either make or break his reputation with his performance on the golf course. If he makes the cut and makes a name for himself, it could be anytime soon that we’ll be hearing more of this rising star in both golf and football.
