Marzae Brooks brings compact, run-stopping linebacker value to JMU
Brooks is a **redshirt junior linebacker** at James Madison who has played in **34 career games** and logged **28 tackles**, showing a steady rotational presence rather than a flash-only profile.[1] At **5-11, 225**, he fits as a compact, physical defender, and his best proof point is a **six-tackle career-high vs. Charlotte**, which hints at toughness and consistency when the action comes downhill.[1] He profiles as a fit for a team wanting a disciplined, hard-nosed linebacker who can add depth, compete in the box, and bring energy without needing the ball to find him every snap.[1]
