While most college quarterbacks dream of a long and successful NFL career, that does not become the reality for most. Former Notre Dame and UCF quarterback Brandon Wimbush didn’t make the NFL, but that has not stopped him from quickly being successful as proven by Forbes recent announcement that he had made its annual 30 Under 30 List.
Congratulations to Brandon Wimbush, a 2019 Accountancy graduate and former @NotreDame Fighting Irish quarterback, for being named to the @Forbes 30 under 30 list!

The Forbes 30 Under 30 is a list of 30 people under 30 years of age who have been recognized for their achievements and potential in various fields. Wimbush was named in the field of “sports”. The list is intended to highlight the most promising young talent in the world.
Wimbush earned this honor due to being cofounder and chief athletic officer at MOGL, a marketplace that connects businesses with NCAA athletes for NIL marketing deals. He is now transitioning to an advisory role and shifting his focus to Duael Track, where he will serve as vice president of strategic partnerships for the forthcoming head-to-head competition, in which he has an equity stake.
On the field, Wimbush was with Notre Dame from 2015 to 2018 and then transferred to UCF for his final collegiate season. Overall, he passed for 2,773 yards and 22 touchdowns, with his best season coming with the Irish in 2017 when he passed for 1,870 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 803 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2017.
