Michael Brewster

Mike Zimmer of the Billings Gazette writes a profile of former Warrior running back Michael Brewster, who is gearing up for the start of the United Indoor Football League as a member of the Billings Outlaws.

Though he is a running back by trade, Brewster will be a starting receiver and kick returner for the Outlaws when they open the United Indoor Football league season Friday night at Fort Collins, Colo.

"My goal is to get him double-digit touches in every game," said O'Neal. "Michael is a big play waiting to happen every time he has the ball. With his speed and quickness, his great hands, his shiftiness, his power and strength ... with everything he brings to the table, he's a lethal weapon with the ball in his hands.

...

Brewster is also lethal in the weight room, a hobby that has produced a physique worthy of earning the nickname "12-Pack" from his coach.

O'Neal tells the story of an afternoon earlier this spring when he and several Outlaws played basketball for about 90 minutes. When the hoops session was done, Brewster hit the weights.

"He started with 14 (bench press) reps at 225 pounds, then did eight at 315, then six at 330, then he finished with four at 350," said O'Neal. "AFTER an hour-and-a-half of full-court basketball. It was impressive.

"You can see by looking at him how hard he works on his body. I call him 12-Pack. He doesn't just have 6-pack abs. He has a 12-pack."

Good luck to Brewster!
