Texas A&M DB Jay Brooks: Rising playmaker with all-around impact
Jay Brooks is emerging as a high-impact Texas A&M defensive back with proven production and playmaking versatility, highlighted by a career-high 62 tackles, 4 sacks, and an interception in the 2025 season, which has drawn Jim Thorpe Award buzz entering 2026.[1][2] At 5-10 and 193 pounds, he brings a compact, physical style that fits an aggressive defense, and his special-teams/value-added snaps and ability to create disruption make him more than a stats-only prospect.[5][3]
