Brent is the author of four published books about Texas A&M, three related to A&M athletics. He's a five-time winner of APSE National Top 10 writing awards for the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News, including in 2021 breaking the bombshell college football story of the decade: Texas and Oklahoma secretly planning a move to the SEC.
He netted a national APSE second-place finish for breaking the Dennis Franchione "secret newsletter" scandal in 2007, and his coverage of Texas A&M's move to the SEC from the Big 12 also netted a third-place finish nationally in 2012.
Brent was named national beat writer of the year by the Football Writers Association of America for 2021, the first Texan to earn the honor, but he's most proud on the sports front of earning Dayton Invitational Basketball Tournament MVP honors in 1988.
Brent met his wife, KBTX-TV news anchor Crystal Galny, in the Dixie Chicken before an A&M-Texas Tech football game in 2002, and the couple has three children: Will, Zoe and Brady.
