Danny Brannagan (born July 4, 1986) is a former professional Canadian football quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
Brannagan attended high school at Assumption Catholic Secondary School in Burlington where in his 5th and final year in 2004, he led the Assumption Crusaders to the GHAC finals where they defeated St. Jean de Brebeuf in a thriller, with the final score 29-28. Trailing by 27 points with less than 8 minutes to play, Brannagan led Assumption's offense to an amazing comeback, taking the lead with under 2 minutes left to play.
Brannagan began his university football career with the Queen's Golden Gaels in 2005 and quickly assumed the starting quarterback position. In a game against Wilfrid Laurier, he came off the bench in the fourth quarter and threw for 110 yards, earning the start the following week against York University. He threw for 341 yards in the team's win and never looked back, starting the final seven games of the season. He was named the OUA Rookie of the Year for the 2005 season after completing 115 passes out of 209 attempts for 1,860 yards to go along with 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
In 2006, Brannagan started all ten games for Queen's (including two playoff games), leading the team to a 4-4 record. He finished the season ranked third in the OUA with 1,744 passing yards and threw for 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In 2007, Brannagan started eight regular season games and one playoff game, as the team finished with a 6-2 record. He showed great improvement this season, passing for 2,123 yards for 15 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He also played in the CIS East/West Bowl in Hamilton that year.
Brannagan continued to improve for the 2008 season, as he completed 144 of 255 passes for 2,407 yards for a nation-leading 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. In a week six win versus the University of Ottawa, he passed Tommy Denison as Queen's all-time leading passer. He again started all eight regular season games compiling an undefeated record of 8-0 and first seed in the OUA playoffs. However, the Golden Gaels were defeated by the underdog Ottawa Gee-Gees in the second round of the playoffs. For his outstanding play, Brannagan was named to the CIS All-Canadian Second Team.
