Jeremiah transferred to Stratford for his senior year and threw for 1,863 yards and 12 touchdowns on only 3 interceptions, also running for 6 more rushing touchdowns as a senior. Moreso than football, Briscoe actually preferred baseball to football and had a 2.48 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 48 innings pitched.

Considered a three-star recruit by 247sports, Briscoe chose a full-ride scholarship to the University of Alabama at Birmingham over offers from Baylor, Boise State, Lamar, Sam Houston State, Stephen F Austin, Wyoming, and preferred walk-on's from Texas A&M and Ole Miss. [1] He was also recruited by UAB to play baseball, and sought baseball recruitment from Stephen F Austin, Texas A&M, and Baylor.

College career

Briscoe started his college career at UAB in 2014, where he threw for 361 yards and 3 touchdowns in six games, one of which he started. He also played baseball. Briscoe transferred to Sam Houston State University after UAB's football program was cut following his freshman year. [2]

Despite being a sophomore backup at Sam Houston State behind Jared Johnson, Briscoe passed for 1,883 yards and 14 touchdowns in the 2015 season. As a junior in the 2016 season, Briscoe was a full-time starter and won the Walter Payton Award after passing for 4,602 yards and 57 touchdowns, an FCS single-season record [3] [4] until 2022, when Lindsey Scott Jr. threw 60 for Incarnate Word. [5]

As a senior in 2017, Briscoe threw for 5,003 yards and 46 touchdowns, later winning the Walter Payton a second time. He is only the second player in FCS history to win the Walter Payton more than once.
