Brett Jon Salisbury (born October 11, 1968 in Dayton, Ohio) is a former college football quarterback at University of Oregon and Wayne State University.
Early life
Salisbury, the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Sean Salisbury, grew up in Escondido, California. He was a pitcher for the Escondido Little League that finished fifth in the 1981 Little League World Series.[1] He attended Orange Glen High School, where he was quarterback for the school's football team.[2] A highly-sought after recruit, Salisbury graduated in 1986 and accepted a football scholarship to Brigham Young University.[3]
Football career
At BYU, Salisbury backed up eventual Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer. He left BYU after two years and attended Palomar Junior College before transferring to the University of Oregon in 1991.[3][4] Salisbury was initially considered as a successor to Bill Musgrave, but he lost the starting job due to a hernia injury in training camp, and backed up regular starter Danny O'Neil for most of the season.[4] Following injuries to O'Neil, Salisbury started three games for the Ducks, all losses.[5]
In 1992, Salisbury left Oregon to pursue a starting job at a Division II college.[6] After sitting out a year, he began playing for Wayne State College in 1993.[7] At Wayne State, Salisbury led the Wildcats to a 9–1 record while ranking second in Division II for passing efficiency with a rating of 166.3 and third in total offense with 373.2 yards per game.[8] He was nominated for the Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded to the most outstanding Division II football player.[9]
After college, Salisbury played in the EFAF European League with the Helsinki Giants and Prague Panthers.[8] Salisbury also began a career as a male model.
After football
After his retirement, Salisbury became a sports nutritionist.[10]
