2019 LB Brooks puts on a show for Northwestern in opener

Aug 20, 2017

2019 Miami Northwestern linebacker Sam Brooks was Dade County's sack king last year with 16.5 and he's off to a great start this season already. Brooks is a Canes legacy and Miami offered him over the summer.

The Bulls traveled up to North Florida and defeated Rickards 53-14. One of the stars of the night was Brooks, who recorded 8 tackles, 3 sacks, FF, and a TD. Highlights:

Looking at the roster the other day and we only have 1 guy fromNW-Mike Smith and 3 from Booker-T Walton, Chad and D-Jack. Do we have some problems with them?

Always loaded with athletes that may be too "small" for example or any other kind of negative that Major D1 coaches doesn't like in a prospect, schools like Louisville, USF, Marshall, FIU, have cashed in on these prospects especially Louisville and now USF

Sam is one of my favorite prospects in the 2019 class and he is a Cane lock. These next two classes 2018 and 2019 are going to firmly entrench us as a national power and perennial top 5 program.

...effin' goosebumps...

how did Nate the great leave too soon? he came in as a highly rated cb who never lived up to the hype and was more interested in music.

Two "Nate the Great"s, and my bad for confusing the two (Pete only confirmed the nickname, not the particular player, but I should have known better). I just connected to the linebacker "Nate the Great" since this kid plays LB.

And Nate Brooks just happened to play RIGHT BEFORE Miami got good again. So you could say he left too soon to enjoy the dominant teams we would be fielding.

Anyhow, still happy to see a legacy do good on the field, and be good enough to carry on the UM tradition.

I don't recall Nate Webster being called "Nate the great", even though he was great.

and this kid plays d end, not lb.

Wasn't our highly touted 2008 or 2009 class loaded with boys from the west? I think we are doing an incredible job recruiting the state of Miami. I doubt coaches have any problem with the west...
