"I was well-schooled growing up. I
definitely had an advantage over the
other kids who were playing. In all
sports. It wasn't just football. It was in
everything."
And, like his brothers, he excelled in
all of them.
At Trinity, Brian was a star.
He was a Major League Baseball
prospect — ultimately getting draft-
ed by the Rockies in 2002. He was an
MVP in basketball. And, in football, he
thrived in Bob Beatty's sophisticated
offense that showcased a college-type
passing game, allowing Brian to pile
up ridiculous career statistics (10,579
yards, 119 TDs, only 14 interceptions),
win three state championships and be
named Kentucky's Mr. Football as a se-
nior. Now, his No. 12 jersey hangs on
a wall inside the R.W. Marshall Sports
Center, one of only three to be honored
by a school that has won 24 state titles.
Jeff's No. 11 is nearby.
Brian's ability — and willingness —
to be a three-sport guy even landed him
on the cover of Sports Illustrated as part
of dying breed of high school athlete:
One who doesn't specialize.
But he'd have to in college.
And, with that decision, Brian could
have escaped the expectations, the
pressure and the family.
He was one of the country's most-
prized football prospects, being heavi-
ly recruited to play quarterback across
the country. But his hometown school
wanted him, too. The place where Os-
car played. Where Greg and Jeff played.
That had a resurgent program, a newer
stadium, a growing fanbase and an of-
fensive-minded coach and quarterback
developer in Bobby Petrino. And Jeff as
an offensive assistant coach.
