Brandon Burlsworth is perhaps the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Brandon had always dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but was considered too short and too fat to play Division I. Undeterred, Brandon took a big risk and walked on in 1994. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. An extremely devoted Christian, Brandon never cursed or drank.

Full Plot Details

Brandon Burlsworth is perhaps the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Brandon had always dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but was considered too short and too fat to play Division I. Undeterred, Brandon took a big risk and walked on in 1994. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. An extremely devoted Christian, Brandon never cursed or drank. He was genuinely humble and low-key. He worked harder than anybody, on and off the field, becoming the first Razorback to earn a Bachelor's and Master's degree while still playing. The overly-fat kid who was once an embarrassment to his teammates and an annoyance to his coaches, ended up becoming the most respected player in the history of the program, changing the lives of all he touched. Eleven days after being drafted into the NFL, Brandon was tragically killed in a car accident, crushing all who knew him. Brandon was "too good to be true". How could something like that happen to this guy? The age-old question slammed down upon all with terrible force: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Brandon's story is more than mere football. It is the ultimate expression of the question "Why?" Greater will provide hope and inspiration as it strives to wrestle with this challenge and find reasons to trust. It is "Rudy" meets "It's a Wonderful Life".

Movie Reviews

NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferThe best underdog sports movies since The Blind Side. It will make you stand up and cheer!
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin... not a movie for people who look to movies for something more than uplift or assurance, but that's all right.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 8/10 by Linda CookIt' s not a big biopic about a big football star. It's an inspirational film about a life well-lived that ended too soon.
John Hanlon Reviews - 8/10 by John HanlonAn inspirational sports drama that dares to ask difficult questions about faith.
Screen It! - 8/10 by Jim JudyHad the filmmakers not repeatedly returned to the "doubting Thomases" and instead just played the film out chronologically, it would have had more of an emotional impact. (Full Content Review for Parents - Profanity, Bullying, etc. - also Available)
WORLD - 7/10 by Megan BashamAlong with multiple music montages showing Brandon in training, the movie is cluttered with general churchy fluff.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Craig D. LindseyYes, Burlsworth was truly an angel among us, but Greater takes the audience through some heavy-handed hell.
Aisle Seat - 6/10 by Mike McGranaghanA movie that has some undeniable inspirational appeal, but also one that's so sluggishly told that the appeal is moderately blunted.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Renee SchonfeldMoving, faith-based tale of football star's unexpected rise.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Noel MurrayThe movie’s length is excessive and its arc over-familiar, but for those who don’t mind a little sap — or a lot — Greater is effective.
