Braylen Brooks brings tackling pop and veteran depth to Western Illinois' secondary
In the 2024 season, Braylen Brooks contributed four tackles and a fumble recovery against Indiana, showing up as a steady, active DB rather than a headline-chasing stat machine.[9] Listed as a senior defensive back at Western Illinois, he brings compact size, experience, and a scrappy run-support profile that can fit a defense needing reliable, assignment-sound coverage help.[5][1]
