No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Tracks ball downfield with ease. Imminent jump-ball threat. Can make first defender miss as ball-carrier, but lacks creativity for consistent YAC. Good sense of finding soft spots in middle of field.

Polish: Accomplished route-runner. Attacks entire field. Keen understanding of how to attack defender’s leverage; stacks and stems like college veteran. Varies release at LOS. Willing blocker, but must get stronger.

Bottom Line: Brecht’s length, ball skills and versatility as a route-runner ensure he’ll see the field early at Iowa. Should line up primarily out wide, but has savvy and hands to move inside to the slot on occasion. Likely multi-year starter, whose value increases in the red zone.
