Versatile, low-center-of-gravity Washington State back with return-game juice
Leon Brooks has been a multi-use weapon for Washington State, with his 2012 season showing 78 rushing yards on 12 carries, 22 receiving yards, and a team-best 74 punt-return yards in seven games. His tape and stat line point to a quick, compact back who can make things happen in space and help on special teams, not just between the tackles. He’s best viewed as a high-effort, change-of-pace fit for a roster that values versatility, toughness, and hidden-yardage plays more than pure volume.
