Alex Brink (born June 2, 1985 in city-state|Eugene|Oregon) is an American football quarterback who is a practice squad player for the Houston Texans of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Texans in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Washington State.

Early years

A native of Eugene, Oregon, Alex Brink attended Sheldon High School, receiving good grades, and becoming a letterman in football, basketball and baseball. In football, as a senior, he led his team to the state championship, with a 31-24 win over Lake Oswego. During that season he passed for 3946 yards and 36 touchdowns, while being named Oregon Player of the Year. He passed for over 3500 yards in his junior season as well. His record as a high school starter was 35-3, with one state championship. In baseball, he was a standout player and threw a perfect game. He graduated from Sheldon High in 2003 with a 3.91 GPA.

College career

In his college career, Brink completed 58.4 percent of his passes for 10,913 yards. He threw 76 touchdowns and 43 interceptions. Despite these good numbers, the Cougars endured four straight seasons without a bowl berth. As a starter, Brink was 17-23 over four seasons. Brink finished his career as the third leading passer, in terms of yards, in Pac-10 history, behind Carson Palmer and Derek Anderson

During a game against Oregon State University in the 2005 season Brink set a new school record with 531 passing yards. Ahead 30-16 at the break, the Cougars, however, lost that game due in part to defensive and special teams lapses and other mistakes, but also because Brink threw 1 touchdown against 4 interceptions. For much of the 2006 season, Brink led the Pac-10 in passing yards. He was named second team All-Pac-10 for his efforts. The Cougars were at one point in the 2006 season ranked No. 25 in the nation with a 6-3 record, but lost their final three games to finish the year at 6-6.

Professional career

Houston Texans

Brink was drafted by the Houston Texans in the seventh round (223rd overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft. He signed a rookie contract with the team on June 27, 2008. He was later released on August 29 during final cuts.

The Texans re-signed Brink to the practice squad on October 8 after cornerback Derrick Roberson was released.
