RICHMOND, Va. – Junior quarterback Max Brosmer (Roswell, Ga.) of the University of New Hampshire was selected as the 2023 CAA Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year by a vote of the conference's athletic directors. The announcement was made Thursday.
Brosmer, who shared the honor with Monmouth University's Justin Szuba in 2022, is the first repeat winner of the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
Brosmer compiled a 3.88 GPA while earning his Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science - Medical and Veterinary Sciences. He has recorded a 4.0 GPA while pursuing a graduate degree in kinesiology.
He earned a spot on the FCS ADA Academic All-Star Team, the CSC Academic All-District Team and the National College Athlete Honor Society for the second consecutive year in 2023.
Brosmer, who also received the 2023 CAA Football Chuck Boone Leadership Award, has earned a spot on the conference's Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll every year.
He was a finalist for the Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.
In recognition of an exceptional 2023 season on the field, Brosmer was voted runner-up for the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the top offensive player in FCS. He also earned All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Stats Perform, FCS Football Central, and Phil Steele.
Nominees for the CAA Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year must have senior standing academically with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. In honor of his achievement, Brosmer will receive a scholarship to be used for future educational expenses.
Brosmer completed 294 of 459 passes for 3,464 yards and 29 touchdowns in 11 games. That's an average of 314.9 yards per game on a 64.1 completion percentage. Those numbers rank second on UNH's list of single-season superlatives in completions, pass attempts and passing yards.
The captain led FCS football in two statistics: passing yards per game and total offense (325.0 yards/game). He also ranked #2 in passing yards, passing touchdowns and points responsible for per game (18.9), as well as #4 in completions per game (26.64) and points responsible for (208).
Brosmer also ran for five touchdowns and had 126 rushing yards.
Brosmer, who entered the season with a pair of 300-yard passing games, passed for 300+ yards five consecutive games and topped 300 passing yards six times overall in 2023. In fact, he surpassed 400 passing yards three times and threw multiple TDs in 9 of 11 games, including the same stretch of five games he threw for 300+ yards (Sept. 23 to Oct. 28).
Brosmer passed for a career-high 493 yards at FBS school Central Michigan; he completed 23 of 51 passes with four TDs. He had career highs of 41 completions and 60 attempts at Rhode Island; he threw for 430 yards a pair of touchdowns and also had a 20-yard TD run in that game vs. the Rams.
In the Homecoming game against UAlbany, Brosmer accounted for four touchdowns – three via the air (19, 53 and 6 yards) and one on the ground (two yards). He completed 29 of 49 passes for 342 yards.
He was named the FCS National Performer of the Week by College Performance Awards on Sept. 5 following the season opener at Stonehill College in which he completed 19 of 25 passes for 284 yards and career-high five TD passes for a season-high 237.4 QB efficiency rating.
New Hampshire concluded the 2023 season with a 44-25 victory against the University of Maine to win the Border Battle and retain the Brice-Cowell Musket.
