Biography |
Brady Tyler Quinn (born October 27, 1984 in Dublin, Ohio) is
an American football quarterback for the University of Notre
Dame football team. Brady graduated from Dublin Coffman High
School in Dublin, Ohio, and is majoring in finance and
political science. He is 6'4" tall and weighs in at 227
pounds. Brady's football ability is helped by the fact that
in addition to his athleticism, he is quite strong. He can
bench press 285 pounds and squat 415 pounds. He was employed
part-time by a Columbus, Ohio law office during the summer
of 2005.
Brady Quinn attended Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio and
was a letterman in football and baseball. During the fall of
2002, Notre Dame football coach Tyrone Willingham, acting on
a tip from fellow recruit Chinedum Ndukwe's father, offered
Quinn a scholarship. In baseball, he won All-Conference
honors as a junior and was a member of the State
Championship team.
During the 2005 college football season, Quinn completed 294
of 454 pass attempts for 3,919 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 7
interceptions. He finished the season 5th in total offense,
7th in pass efficiency, 7th in points responsible for, 6th
in passing, 1st in total passing yards, and 1st in passing
yards per game.
Quinn is on track to break nearly every Notre Dame career
passing record. In his career, he has broken the Notre Dame
all-time and single season team records for attempts,
completions, yards, and touchdowns.
Although he was not invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony
in New York City, Quinn finished fourth in the voting for
the prestigious honor, receiving seven first-place votes. He
finished behind Reggie Bush (winner), Vince Young (2nd), and
Matt Leinart (3rd). Quinn is among the favorites for the
2006 Heisman trophy. An early season loss to Michigan, which
included two interceptions and a fumble by Quinn, lowered
these expectations. However, Quinn rebounded the following
week by throwing for 319 yards, with 5 touchdown passes,
leading Notre Dame to a victory over Michigan State. Quinn,
regarded as one of the best clutch leaders in college
football history has already led the Irish to ten fourth
quarter come-from-behind victories.
Quinn was the recipient of the Sammy Baugh trophy which is
awarded to college football's top passer by the Touchdown
Club of Columbus. |
