Cant wait till this kid heals up 100% hes going to be ruthless, closing speed at its finest when healthy.

Didnt he play as a JR at LB or am I mistaken?yeah hes a good tackler but can he make that transition from playing on the line in high school to LB in college. We have not seen him play LB at all, so we do not know if hes quick enough or has good coverage skills.

Plus Sam brooks is a great athlete, as a junior he had a spark rating of 116 at the Nike opening. Would have been 125 plus if he was healthy enough to test this year imoTaurean Charles got kicked out of UF and had legal issues. Kid would have been a stud at UF if it was just football.
And Mike Smith had a devstating knee injury. Like Darrion Owens he's just not the same player he was pre-injury.
With Brooks it's a matter of him fully recoveing. He ran a 4.6 pre-injury, so he has the speed to play LB if he gets back to where he was.
I've never understood why people think a HS rush OLB/DE can't play LB in college. Kids make far more radical position changes in college all the time.

That’s odd. Not that a UF player had legal issues but that UF actually kicked him out for it. They must’ve found more bodies on him than Dahmer.
Majority of his jr high school tapes are him playing on the line.Didnt he play as a JR at LB or am I mistaken?

U think because he's from Northwestern he has talent man they are trash 0-2 so far this season. Its the same story from all kids that play this position at NW all they do is use they speed to blow by the Tackle thats 100 to 150 pounds bigger and much slower.Bigger question, does he know how to get off blocks? I don’t know if I saw anyone actually engage him in that vid.
I do like his closing speed, and he’s from northwestern so I don’t actually worry about his talent. I’m just busting on the other team.
He looks like a linebacker to me. I hope he break the cycle of overhyped mnw lbs as someone mentioned above.Majority of his jr high school tapes are him playing on the line.
