Russell Brooks brings bulk, experience, and trench size to UAPB
In the 2026 season, Arkansas-Pine Bluff junior OL Russell Brooks is a true mauler at 6-foot-4 and 350 pounds, giving the Golden Lions serious mass up front and a clear run-blocking identity. His standout trait is pure size, which can help him anchor against power rushers and create movement in short-yardage situations. He’s the kind of no-nonsense interior lineman who fits a physical offense and adds depth with veteran experience. The concern is less about flash and more about mobility fit, but if a team wants a heavy-handed road grader, Brooks makes sense.
