Brooks Mauk brings comeback grit and multi-skill upside to Troy’s tight end room
Brooks Mauk is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound freshman tight end at Troy who redshirted in 2024 and arrives with a strong high-school résumé: 10 catches for 137 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2023, plus state-championship experience at Weddington. Reliable recruiting reports describe him as a long, rangy athlete with an explosive first step, a relentless motor, soft hands, and physical blocking ability, which suggests a true all-around TE profile. His biggest differentiator is toughness: he battled back from a broken tibia and fibula and returned to full-speed play, a strong sign for teams valuing resilience and high-effort contributors.
