Recovering from ACL, did not participate.

HYPE

Brooks sat behind both Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson at Texas but as a junior he racked up an impressive 1139 yards rushing at a avg of 6.1 YPC. Adding in 25 receptions and 286 yards as a receiver out of the backfield he showed his versatility. Unfortunately he injured his ACL, but he expects to be cleared by July 1st.

Strengths:

1. Great agility and vision: He is a threat both inside and outside the tackles.

2. Great in play action: Incredible aptitude in different offensive schemes.  

3. Hands: Soft hands and a very nice catch radius for an RB, able to catch off target throws and make defenders miss.

4. Physicality: He’s shown that he’s able to be physical between the tackles making him a potential 3 down back when needed.

Weaknesses:

1. One year starter: We only have a limited offering from Brooks to evaluate.

2. Talent rich offense: Being that Texas boasts a very skilled offensive group, could be covering up some deficiencies in his game.

3. Injury history: Coming off an ACL will make him a slow starter.
