Playing career

College

Elliott was the starter for the 2002 Utah Utes football team and began the season as the starter for the 2003 team before breaking his wrist in the second game of the season and being replaced by Heisman finalist and future #1 NFL draft pick Alex Smith.

After Alex Smith took over the starting job, Brett transferred to Linfield College where he became the school's starting quarterback en route to a NCAA Division III Football Championship in 2004, and set national college football records including the season record for touchdowns thrown in a season (61). In 2005, he won both the Gagliardi Trophy and the Melberger Award.
