Guam - Born and raised on Guam, Guam native Derrick Brodus made his college football debut for the University of Tennessee as the kicker. Brodus is a standout soccer player who turned down several scholarships to play soccer to pursue his football career at Tennessee.
Derrick kicked a field goal and 3 extra points in his team's shut out win over Middle Tennessee State University. He was rushed to the football game by police escort 50 minutes before the game after the backup kicker injured himself during warm ups.
He was given the game ball after the win by Head Coach Derek Dooley.
