Last season, he was a key cog in Pitt’s top-10 run-stopping defense, tallying 36 tackles, 7 TFLs, and 1 sack, earning Honorable Mention All-ACC honors. His second-half surge was especially dominant, with 6 TFLs in the final seven games. While his pass-rushing dipped slightly from his freshman year, Brewu finished spring practice strong and showed elite run-stuffing potential. The Irish coaching staff wants him to evolve into a playmaker, using his explosive strength to disrupt the backfield more consistently. If he refines his technique and builds on his already impressive stats, Brewu could become Notre Dame’s most feared run-stopper—and a game-changer on defense.
