HIGHLIGHTS
OUTLOOK
There’s not much out there on Brooks other than the above highlight tape. But what it shows is a big-bodied defensive lineman with the tenacity to play either outside or inside, should he add about 30 lbs. Either way, Brooks could wind up being one of Tommy Tuberville’s patented diamond in the rough signees. A Mike Boone-type, if that helps paint the picture for you. However, with the slew of young players who got experience along the line this past Fall, it will likely force a redshirt upon Brooks next year. That isn’t especially surprising nor an indication of his abilities, though.
