Georgia defensive lineman Warren Brinson pilots plane
Georgia defensive lineman Warren Brinson checked off a unique item on his bucket list over the weekend as he flew a plane for the first time. The Bulldogs star posted a video to X showing himself in control of the aircraft with someone else filming from the passenger seat.
It seems that Brinson simply decided to learn how to fly as a hobby, with his major at UGA being Housing and Management Policy. Either way, it’s impressive that he learned how to do so already as he prepares to enter his senior year in Athens. You can view the video of Brinson flying the plane below.
Brinson is set to enter his fifth season at Georgia after starting in four of 13 games this past year. He finished with a career-best 21 tackles (three for loss), two sacks and one pass defended.
The former four-star recruit is now expected to move into a permanent starting role this season as the Bulldogs aim to make it back to the College Football Playoff. He should be a factor in the pass rush after recording a career-high five quarterback hurries this past season against South Carolina.
Georgia set an SEC record with a 29-game winning streak that lasted from the 2021 College Football Playoff until the 2023 SEC Championship Game against Alabama. It figures to be a favorite to reach the expanded 12-team field this season thanks to experienced players such as Warren Brinson returning.
As much as he has accomplished on the football field, however, adding this off-the-field item to his resume is pretty cool as well. Hopefully he will continue to fly high in more ways than one.
