Brandon Jay Costner was born on July 21, 1987. He is an American professional basketball player. Brandon plays the position of power forward.

College Basketball Career

Brandon Costner started his college basketball journey in 2005. During the 2005–06 season, he had an injury after only five games. This meant he couldn't play for the rest of that season. He was given a "medical redshirt," which allowed him to keep his year of eligibility.

So, the 2006–07 season became his official freshman year. One of his most impressive games was in 2007. He scored 30 points against Duke in a tournament game, helping his team win.

Later that year, he signed his first professional contract. He joined a team called Belfius Mons-Hainaut in Belgium for the 2009–10 season.

A year later, in November 2011, he joined another D-League team, the Los Angeles D-Fenders. After that season ended, he went to France to play for Limoges CSP Elite. He even returned to the Los Angeles D-Fenders in November 2013.
