JQ Brooks brings three-star upside and defensive back depth to Jacksonville State
JQ Brooks, a Jacksonville State cornerback and 2025 signee from Hueytown (AL), arrives with legit recruiting pedigree—247Sports listed him as a three-star and one of Alabama’s top 50 prospects in his class. The public stat trail is still light, so the key takeaway is projection: he’s a young DB with SEC-ish recruiting buzz, college-ready size/speed traits, and room to develop into a competitive man-cover corner. If you’re looking for a high-upside, developmental defensive back who fits a hard-nosed secondary, Brooks is worth watching.
