STATESBORO – Linebacker Brendan Harrington endured not one, but two season-ending injuries at the height of his college career. Instead of walking away, he fought his way back — and now returns to the field with the resilience and perspective shaped by that battle.
"Perseverance through the tough moments, those two injuries, and leaning on the people who truly cared about me made all the difference," Harrington said. "There are still so many people up there who have my back."
His journey began at Appalachian State in 2019 as a determined freshman stepping onto the field in Kidd Brewer Stadium, carving out a role on special teams units and as an outside linebacker.
