DeCalon Brooks brings compact, disruptive linebacker play to Florida State
Brooks showed real on-field value for Florida State in 2021, appearing in the final 11 games and making seven starts while logging 46 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, two pass breakups, two QB hurries and a forced fumble. He fits as an instinctive, active linebacker who can impact both run defense and passing lanes, and his production suggests a player who competes with urgency rather than relying on size alone. At 5-foot-10, he is more about quickness, toughness and play recognition than prototype length, which can be an asset in the right scheme.
