Chad Brooks brings a long, versatile frame to Fordham’s defensive front
Brooks is a 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive lineman with a rare blend of size and positional flexibility, having moved from offensive line to defense while staying on the field for Fordham. His value is in length, mass, and trench adaptability rather than splashy box-score production, which makes him the kind of interior piece coaches like for run defense, gap integrity, and lineup versatility. The main question is current impact and consistency, since publicly available recent stat detail is limited; if you need a big-bodied, coachable DL with upside, he’s a name worth tracking.
