Explosive, patient Texas back whose 2023 breakout was cut short by injury
Brooks was Texas’ lead RB in 2023, finishing with 1,139 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in just 10 games before a season-ending ACL tear, and his game stood out for burst, balance, and the ability to turn routine runs into chunk gains.[1][6] He also added 286 receiving yards, showing true three-down versatility, but the injury history matters when projecting fit: his upside is clear, yet any team needs to value his recovery timeline and durability risk.[1][3][6]
