Brandon Bourbon is a record holder for the state of Missouri in Football and Track. He's earned many awards, medals, and trophys for not only his athletics, but also for his academic success and unfaltering character. After high school he attended KU where he earned a bachelor's degree in business and a minor in sports management. He also attended Washburn University. His football career allowed him to have many opportunities such as collegiate offers from some of the most prestigious academic institutions in the nation; Stanford and Harvard..among many others. Brandon gave to the community often. He was even once rewarded by Mo State Representative Paul Fitzwater for his assistance in a car accident. As you can tell, Bourbon was a rare combination of compassionate, passionate, and intelligent. Our goal is to honor and remember a bold, talented, hardworking, and loving individual who has, without a doubt, earned the privilege of having the local football field named after him. The Trojan football field is where Brandon fell head over heels for the game. It's where he spent most of his time and it's where his family, friends, teachers, coaches, and teammates told him goodbye for the very last time. We want to make it his home. Please add a signature to support our cause.

Brandon has made a HUGE impact on our community & in Kansas for that matter. He always gave 200% on the field and was a great role model off the field as well. It would be a great dedication to him!

This petition should be signed he cared more about helping others than himself and it showed at the end. He neglected his own self to help others through things they weren't strong enough to deal with when he wasn't even strong enough to deal with his own problems! He deserves to have this!

I'm for Potosi High School's football field/stadium being renamed after one of the most talented athletes I've ever played with and one of my closest friends.

To quote Matt Marler, "the greatest Trojan of all time." To quote my son, "the greatest football player of all time," How thankful my family is for getting the chance to know this man and the entire Bourbon family!

Brandon was a caring, loving, and inspiring man. As I grew up, I watched him bring football back to my home town to Potosi. He was a role model to my little brother, and will continue to be throughout Ryan's life. I am so thankful for the influence that Brandon had, not only on my family, but on the world.
