There is currently no GoFundMe Page set up for Colt, but when there is i will leave a link and part of todays proceeds from this video will go to that!
A tragic end to a life blessed with opportunity and promise. But please explain....why are you sending money to the family? Was there a wife? Children? Thank you.
Colt truly died in the car accident, but it was a slow death. The nerve damage, the brain injury, all too much to over come. Met him three years ago and he was soft spoken and humble…but his body was failing him. So sad…rest peacefully Colt..One Love.
I actually thought it started with that bad concussion he suffered against San Diego State in 2007. He was literally knocked out, by a helmet-to helmet hit that would be a illegal today. We didn't have concussion protocol back them, and he only missed one game, we knew little about CTE 14 years ago. I think the automobile accident just hastened his downward spiral. Should have tested the brain for CTE.
I was his Uber driver about 5 times in Kona a few years ago. He was in rough shape. He was usually drunk or on pain pills. His brain injury was very noticeable and he could barely walk. It is really sad. He was a nice guy. R.I.P
He got hooked on pain meds from the accident and couldn’t kick it. He was doing bad then got it together a couple years ago, started coaching locally I think. That was the last I heard then I see this news
@@lilcourtny08 So, if one of your family members died, and they were talked about being real good at something, but then some people talked about them not actually being very good, you'd be ok with that?
He is the reason why i love to use hawaii when playing ncaa 14. I want to make a dynasty out of hawaii and try to live up to the legend he was for them
@Sagereed55 that game was ridiculous with Hawaii's offense, my older brother used to get me so pissed throwing it all over the field. If you had time to throw the ball, those option routes were on pointm
I’ll say it again!!! Da coldest haole boy to ever come thru Hawai’i and THE drip god of all QBs. Rest in Aloha braddah. Thank u for all u have done for the islands and for UH & hope we retire his number
Yes, I don't think many realize how difficult it is for a mainlanders to be accepted into Hawaii culture. Colt only lived here two years and he was not only respected but admired like a celebrity. UH needed to retire #15 years ago.
I agree as I never watched, or even thought about Hawaii, play. I then watched any game I could to watch him sling the pigskin all over the field!! RIP COLT!!
I used to stay up past grounding time to watch Colt and the rest of the Warriors. They were the only team I would watch in silence. May he rest in peace.
This guy never got a real chance to show he could be a pro. To this day, I'm still incredibly mad about that. In my book, he had the arm talent and mobility of a potential super star. RIP Champ.
U do realize be played in a college system similar to what made tim tebow look special at florida. I think colt was more talented than tim tebow but u have to REALLY be special to make it in the NFL at QB.
@@djobe420 there is no such thing as a run n gun offense. Im assuming u mean RUN N SHOOT,and again june jones offense is very similar to a spread offense.....dont take my word for it,do your research!
@@MIGGYME1 if he left as a junior he was projected as a top 10 pick but he stayed and led Hawaii to a sugar bowl appearance and it hurt his draft stock as they played bad vs Georgia. He was a stud. He should’ve left but he stayed and became a heisman finalist and a college legend.
Colt is a College legend. It's sad hours before he passed he tried to check into a detox facility. He was turned down because of lack of beds. Its extremely sad
That makes the story even more sad. I bet there were plenty of jail cells though. It's sad that a lot of times addicts that want help can't easily get it, but you get caught with the drugs they have no trouble finding a place for you to go.
@@jaya1000 100% agree that is a huge part of it. Drug laws always seemed to come about because (insert minority) might get high and try to rape white woman. I swear it's terrible the way the justice system is and how the laws came to be. I'm a white male and I've have plenty of experience with the system, but I do know for a fact it would have been way worse if I wasn't white. Especially where I'm from. I've seen the discrimination with my own eyes.
@@andrewz1313 same. I got away with everything when I fucked around in early adulthood. Had I been black or Latino I wouldve had the book thrown at me. My life is infinitely better drug free, but had I been busted at my worst my life would be infinitely worse forever. Drug addicts are not criminals, some turn to crime to pay for drugs, but ultimately they just need therapy and a job.
@@jaya1000 Thats weird. A white moddle-class co-worker got his first DUI at 34 in Wisconsin and did 3 years in prison. Another friend in IL was found with a firearm and he didnt ask the crown for permission first. He was charged with a felony and is now a convicted felon. His degree is near worthless now. These stories are not unique.
Damn this is really tragic. I was a fan of his when he was in Hawaii. He actually got me interested in Hawaii ball and to actually play as them in the NCAA video games. Dude was an absolute baller, and it's a damn shame about that car accident. RIP Colt Brennan
This is it, the standards for all positions change as the game evolves with the talent available. Kyler Murray wouldn't of been allowed to play QB if he played in 09. They would of made him a running or safety.
He was and will always be Hawaii’s son. A true legend. He brought an entire state together in a way nobody had done before. Condolences to the entire Brennan family. Hawaii is mourning this tragic loss with you. Thank you for the most amazing times and memories. The Colt Brennan era was beyond special and really indescribable. RIP Colt. We ❤️ you and will always “Believe”. You taught us to always believe!
Watching him Gun Slinging on those late night WAC games as a kid was a beautiful sight to behold. One of the best college football players of all time, R.I.P. Colt
REST IN HAWAIIAN PARADISE COLT🙏🏾🕊 Man, I hate to hear this. I'm playing NCAA FOOTBALL 08 today and running the table with Hawai'i. Condolences to his family members and friends. Hats off for the "🍍PINEAPPLE SNIPER🏈" COLT BRENNAN!
Funny you playing that. I'm playing it right now.. best ncaa ever next to the one with Reggie bush on the cover. Colt is a monster on 08. REST EASY Warrior
I was in HS over here on Oahu during the colt Brennan glory days. That magical 2007 season was my senior year in HS. So many good memories of that team man, Rest in Aloha Colt.
Sad to hear!! I live in Athens Ga and have been a life long Dawg fan. I remember the Sugar bowl game where my Dawgs were going to take on Brennan and company and of course was rootin for Ga. But I was in awe with what this young man could do with the football!! After the first half I was a little concerned about Georgia getting the win but they pulled it out in the second half with no problem. I still found myself becoming a Colt Brennan fan just because he never gave up and did everything possible to keep his guys in this game. Helluva talent. My he now Rest In Peace
I met Colt during my (and his) first tryout year at Saddleback. I didn't know his story then but appreciated the way he carried himself when I met him. He had a broken arm during spring practice but he was out there training nonetheless. He wanted to make an impact and truly did by setting that example. I never knew about the baggage he brought with him there but which is why I assume he was always out there proving himself with the team even with his injury at the time... Little did I know a couple years later he would be a flat out legend of my home state football team. #15 Forever! Thanks for making this video...
Wow! I remember hearing about Colt Brennan back then but I did not know he was that prolific at quarterback. That is quite the sobering ending. I'll watch a few of his games just to relive that era.
If you like offense, there are plenty of games on you tube. He was amazing to say the least. Watch his 2007 game against Boise St. and Washington He was special.
I remember watching him at Hawaii him vs Boise State was some of the most exciting games I ever saw and he was absolutely awesome. Absolutely shocked when I heard about his passing you will be missed :(
I attended The University of Nevada Reno, so I was well aware of Colt Brennan... He was A W S O M E!!! He took our conference by storm and was so exciting to watch... I am very sad that this talented young man passed so soon... I believe his life story can help people to realize that life has it's up's and downs and we sould never take our time here for granted.. My prayers go out to Colt's family and friends. Rest in peace young prince... 🏈🏆🌠
Colt was a great guy. I met and hung out with him on a few occasions in Southern California growing up. Rest in peace 🕊️, he was a good friend and teammate to those who new him.
People assume Colt was your run of the mill chronic. His addiction started after his near fatal automobile accident on the Big Island, Hawaii. He became addicted to opioids and painkillers he used to battle numerous injuries and brain trauma he sustained. It really changed who he was physically and mentally. Unfortunately, he was never able to excocise those demons. A recent autopsy done on Colt's brain confirmed that he also had a advanced case of CTE. RIP Bruddah Colt !!!
Damn this is so sad..Colt was the man so wanted him to make it. Bro was a sick QB nobody could tell me anything about Colt definitely felt like he got the short end of the stick. ..RIP TO QB1 COLT BRENNAN
One of the greatest quarterbacks I've ever seen play. His junior season was the best period, he was robbed of an NFL career because of an injury. #ELITE
RIP Colt. He was an idol of mine as a kid. Forever a legend. Great video, man. Loved the plethora of highlights, especially the not-so-usual ones. Keep up the good work.
Being a highschool kid 2006 and 2007 were huge years for my favorite player Darren McFadden so of course my eyes were glued to the heisman race and everything college football those 2 years and something about Colt stuck with me I always rooted for him in everything he did. Thought he should have been given a little more time in the NFL for sure could have made a decent backup somewhere. But RIP man. Youll be in the record books for a long time
I’m a huge Washington fan. I remember watching him in preseason when I was young and loving him. Everytime I played the old maddens I would always have him as my QB1. Rip Colt
Great job Scot for not knowing him in his time and era, but he was the man in Hawaii we love him and we will definitely miss him. He will never be forgotten, and yes to me that brain injury had a big part in his trouble but even with that he is still Hawaii's and GOAT to the Islands Mahalo.
Would've been a WAY higher draft pick nowadays. I mean we saw Jordan Love taken in the 1st round last year after playing equally subpar competition and putting up stats that didn't come close to Brennan. It's a shame where he ended up. RIP
Watching colt brennan made me appreciate the unknown QBs more i loved watching him play in that spread offense it was nothing like it I stayed up all night to watch Hawaii play at midnight it felt like prime time. Rest easy Colt!!!🙏🏿
I met him a couple times maybe a couple months before he passed, he was kinda helping with a passing clinic that my Son was attending to get some reps at Receiver, nice guy but his body was banged up, he could barely walk, his leg was bad, had to wear a wear a brace, he never recovered from that crash...
I have a lot of good memories watching football with my dad and Colt Brennan was one of our favorite players of all time. Very sad how his life ended. R.I.P to a true legend
Still my favorite quarterback ever. College or pro. I remember when he came to UNLV and it was the only time I rooted against the Rebels. Seeing him in person was like poetry. One of the baddest dudes in college football history. RIP
Damn, that's upsetting that he passed away. I hate to speculate, but an overdose seems rather probable as the cause of death. Too many people get caught in that cycle of hell that is addiction. He was a super exciting player to watch. I never heard anything about him after college though. I wonder if he were to come out in a more recent draft if he would have been able to have a bigger impact in the league. RIP man.
He was my favorite college player when I started watching college football. And it NCAA I would always pick Hawaii just to play as him. I even have his rookie card too.
The last footage of him was at the Senior Bowl in Mobile,Al, my hometown. I remember keeping up with him I’m college, he was a beast. I really thought he was gonna be something in the NFL.
Colt Brennan was one of the reasons I did like a 40 year dynasty with Hawaii in NCAA, and even applied to walk on there. I always played for Hawaii on NCAA. May he rest in peace
He was the main reason I bought season tickets! Aloha stadium use to be packed! No seat available! He brought the state together! Alot of UH pride during them years... all the island kids looked up to him. Even though he wasn’t from here he was very humble, which made the island locals like him even more... RIP Colt! never forget the memories and good times at Aloha stadium....
No lie as a Samoan playing College football my Freshmen year (I'm 33 now) 2007 that OLine was Tested.. every Samoan and Tongan playing OLine was given the real deal Holyfield (Irony cuz he's from GA) that night and that Defensive front light Colt up like it was the 4th of July.. I'm so sad to hear of Colt Passing.. Really amazing QB.. Don't forget watching those games as a kid growing up Hawaii was on top of their game then
Lots of folks get caught up in substance abuse. And many recover. But it was a bogus pain pill laced with fentanyl that killed Colt. Brother was a brilliant QB, a troubled soul and a mortal man. RIP
RIP. He was amazing to watch in college. I remember he took Hawaii to a BCS Game. My favorite college QB from my favorite college team Ricky Stanzi. Brad Banks was amazing. My favorite college QB of all time that didn't play for Iowa. Mike Vick VT
Sadly, the UH O line was no match for the Georgia D line.... Colt got the crap beaten outta him, never gave up, until Coach Jones pulled him from the game.
There is currently no GoFundMe Page set up for Colt, but when there is i will leave a link and part of todays proceeds from this video will go to that!
Love that Scott!!!
Nah bro i need drugs and im alive. Make me a go fund me.
A tragic end to a life blessed with opportunity and promise. But please explain....why are you sending money to the family? Was there a wife? Children? Thank you.

Damn, that's upsetting that he passed away. I hate to speculate, but an overdose seems rather probable as the cause of death. Too many people get caught in that cycle of hell that is addiction. He was a super exciting player to watch. I never heard anything about him after college though. I wonder if he were to come out in a more recent draft if he would have been able to have a bigger impact in the league. RIP man.
R.i.p. colt you will always be the man
Im devastated.him and Bass were 1-2 punch. God bless his soul
Rip Colt you were my favorite college player of all time brother.
Colt is still my all-time favorite college QB. He was so much fun to watch!
He was my favorite college player when I started watching college football. And it NCAA I would always pick Hawaii just to play as him. I even have his rookie card too.
Great memories of staying up late to watch those Hawaii teams.
Brennan was the first real "gun-slinger" I can remember watching as an 8 year old. Dude was a beast in 2006
Nahhhh, the BYU QBs were, then Andre Ware...but the first Hawaii gunslinger was Timmy Chang
Yea these kids are too young to remember chang. But he was colt before colt came along.
Can’t leave out those Texas Tech quarterbacks either. Kingsbury and Harrell among them.
The last footage of him was at the Senior Bowl in Mobile,Al, my hometown. I remember keeping up with him I’m college, he was a beast. I really thought he was gonna be something in the NFL.
Not as far as Jim Zorn was concerned.
Likely would have, given half a chance...
Put this into context Colt sat out 6 fourth quarters in 2006, and missed at least 3 games in 07. His stats could've been BETTER.
Very sad! Loved watching this guy play, so damn exciting.
He was a must watch! A lot like a Johnny Football in College. Tuning in to any game was fun as crap!!! IMO
Yes, and he likely would have brought that same excitement to the Redskins fans, had not Head Coach Jim Zorn decided to banish him from playing....
When you mentioned he went to a prep school in mass I had to look it up and he went to Worcester Academy I live 30 mins from there that’s crazy rip CB
Colt Brennan was one of the reasons I did like a 40 year dynasty with Hawaii in NCAA, and even applied to walk on there. I always played for Hawaii on NCAA. May he rest in peace
He was the main reason I bought season tickets! Aloha stadium use to be packed! No seat available! He brought the state together! Alot of UH pride
during them years... all the island kids looked up to him. Even though he wasn’t from here he was very humble, which made the island locals like him even more... RIP Colt! never forget the memories and good times at Aloha stadium....
Sad bro. These guy was a beast. Actually had better preseason numbers than Dak Prescott but the NFL railroad him. Prayers out to his family.
He had the best QB pre-season rookie numbers in 2008, as well as rave reviews from John Madden & Sonny Jurgenson....
Damn this is not something I expected. Rip, Man was a legend.
Dam rip colt I grew up watching you At Hawaii, you were a beast, Who remember gramh Harrell at Texas tech These 2 were really good in college
This might not be the best time to say this but... your channel is really starting to blow up!!
Yea I remember colt going crazy guess I’m old sheesh that Hawaii team used to run it up crazy
RIP Colt. You'll be remembered in the college football world forever
He was incredible. I was so bummed that they had to play us in the sugar bowl because I knew it was gonna hurt him
No lie as a Samoan playing College football my Freshmen year (I'm 33 now) 2007 that OLine was Tested.. every Samoan and Tongan playing OLine was given the real deal Holyfield (Irony cuz he's from GA) that night and that Defensive front light Colt up like it was the 4th of July.. I'm so sad to hear of Colt Passing.. Really amazing QB.. Don't forget watching those games as a kid growing up Hawaii was on top of their game then
Yes, but he never quit. June Jones pulled him before he could get hurt .
Thank you so much for posting this. He was my brother and friend.
Lots of folks get caught up in substance abuse. And many recover. But it was a bogus pain pill laced with fentanyl that killed Colt.
Brother was a brilliant QB, a troubled soul and a mortal man.
RIP
RIP. He was amazing to watch in college. I remember he took Hawaii to a BCS Game. My favorite college QB from my favorite college team Ricky Stanzi. Brad Banks was amazing. My favorite college QB of all time that didn't play for Iowa. Mike Vick VT
I remember when he played Georgia dude was a great QB at Hawaii RIP those were some great years
Sadly, the UH O line was no match for the Georgia D line.... Colt got the crap beaten outta him, never gave up, until Coach Jones pulled him from the game.
