a walk-on kicker with KU grit and clutch short-range touch
Jerod Brooks profiles as a low-drama, high-trust specialist: a walk-on from Ottawa via Butler County CC who earned the Jayhawks’ short-field-goal duties and was used for a 20-yard field goal plus an extra point in Kansas action, showing the kind of steadiness coaches lean on when field position gets tight. His edge is reliability on compact kicks and the resilience to carve out a role without hype; the biggest question for any roster is whether he can consistently handle pressure reps beyond the short-range niche.
