Boise State’s steady, active linebacker with special-teams value
Samuel Brooks entered the 2026 season as a senior linebacker at Boise State, listed at 6-foot-1 and 222 pounds, with experience that should help him play fast and communicate well in the middle of the defense. In 2025, he logged 8 total tackles, and earlier stat snapshots show a compact, assignment-sound player who contributes without flashy numbers. The fit question is simple: if a team wants toughness, maturity, and reliable depth from a linebacker who can handle dirty work and physical reps, Brooks checks real boxes.
