Heart, leadership, and resilience defined his LSU run
Greg Brooks Jr. was a high-energy LSU safety and captain whose value went far beyond the stat sheet: over his college career he totaled 186 tackles, 17 pass breakups, 6 interceptions, 9.5 tackles for loss, and a sack, flashing range, physicality, and ball skills. In the 2023 season, his story shifted dramatically when a brain tumor diagnosis and complicated surgery ended his football career and left him recovering from severe neurological injuries. If you want a tone-setter with toughness and leadership, Brooks was that guy; if you need an active player, he is no longer on the field.
