Brian Michael Bonner (born April 13, 1984) is an American Football safety who is currently playing at the collegiate level for Texas Christian University.
Bonner was a stand out athlete at A.C. Jones High School in Beeville, Texas, earning 9 total letters (4 in football, 4 in track and 1 in basketball). He played quarterback for the Trojans, amassing 3,180 passing yards and 2,477 rushing yards in his career. As a senior, he was named All-South Texas Quarterback and Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Victoria Advocate. He was offered football scholarships at Georgia Tech, Houston and SMU but elected to play at TCU in Fort Worth.
During Bonner's first two years at TCU, he saw little action. He redshirted in 2003 to make the transition from quarterback to safety, and was used sparingly in 2004, his redshirt freshman year. In 2005, Bonner led the Horned Frogs with four interceptions, two of which came in the win against Colorado State, which clinched the 2005 Mountain West Conference Championship for TCU. As a junior in 2006, he was named First Team All-MWC as a punt returner and Second Team All-MWC at safety.
Recently Dave Campbell's Texas Football selected Phillips to their 2007 Preseason All-Texas College Team.
