It was in that year that he got his first taste of big time when he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. As a senior, Brohm was named Kentucky State Mr. Football, as well as Gatorade Player of the Year; these are two top-tier achievements.

In January 2004, Brohm announced his decision to play college football at the University of Louisville. He had many offers from top schools like Notre Dame, Alabama, and Tennessee, to name a few. Although Brohm did not start a game as a freshman, he performed well enough to earn Conference USA Freshman of the Year honors. Much like his father and brother before him, Brohm he eventually became a full-time starter at Louisville during the 2005 season.

Brian Brohm will spend his senior season in Louisville despite rumors that he would enter the NFL Draft early. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 220 pounds, it’s safe to say that Brohm will be a first-round pick in the 2008 Draft.
