Ventura CC: Brewer transferred to Ventura Community College in Ventura, Calif. following his outstanding redshirt freshman season of 2002 at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo. He transferred to Ventura with hopes of playing his sophomore year of 2003 and then moving up to a Division I program.

He finally had an opportunity to exhibit his talents again in 2004. He led Ventura Community College with 66 receptions for 1,069 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2004.

Against Bakersfield Community College in the season finale, Brewer caught nine passes for 166 yards and one TD. His best game of the season came against San Bernardino, as he had a season high 184 yards on six catches, including a season long reception of 87 yards. Another outstanding effort came against Santa Barbara Community College, where he caught nine passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns. Brewer was a junior-college teammate of current Wyoming tight end John Wadkowski, who earned Second Team All-Mountain West Conference honors in 2004. Brewer was coached at Ventura Community College by head coach Terry Morris. Coming out of Ventura, Brewer was recruited by Colorado, Colorado State, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State
