Tom Brady’s journey to the NFL began at the University of Michigan, where he graduated in 1999. But before he became a Wolverine, he was a student at all-boys Catholic schools in California. He had to convince his parents to let him play football at Junipero Serra High School, where he proved his talent and earned several scholarship offers. He also had a chance to pursue a baseball career with the Montreal Expos, but he chose to follow his passion for football and join the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor.
There, Brady learned the history and tradition of the team and its rousing fight song, “The Victors”. Today, Tom Brady wants to share his love for the Wolverines with the fans who support them. He has partnered with Autograph and MGoBlog to create a challenge on social media to find the biggest Michigan football fan. Are you ready to show Tom Brady your Wolverine spirit?
