He may work out better long term at LB just because he'd put on more weight and at his height, maybe grow out of the position since he's not a speedster. But some players are sensitive to what they think is their best position. Give him a shot at rb though and see what happens. I wish our coaches didn’t recruit players for positions they don’t want to play. Let Robert or Johnny try to play QB, Mack. If they are buried in the depth chart behind Garrett, Case, and David, then suggest a move to DB. If they refuse and transfer, you’re no worse off.

I have a very close source to the Brooks dad and that source stated a number of times Jimbo and Riley kept in contact with JB constantly. Its what fueled the rumors a few months ago of him decommitting. Yeah he had options. He just stayed solid and didn't report offers.
September 19, 20214 yr Popular Post Got to give my hometown boy some love! He made chicken salad out of chicken shit a couple times and had the long run. Don’t sleep on him, watching him in high school carry a whole team and have some of the best field vision and cuts I’ve seen in a while… He will be producing big time for us one day.

He looked very instinctual. I was glad to see him get some touches.

September 19, 20214 yr I was very impressed with his balance and vision. Texas has an embarrassment of riches at the RB position right now.

They might do good at a Sam Houston or something but the rb was pretty shut down by a ok 2a defense and the other was blocked pretty good by a not above average line.

Dalton brooks ‘23 is a fucking stud and is a top 50 composite recruit. He ain’t an fcs player. Post less.
September 19, 20214 yr he looked pretty good. doubt he is ever the #1 guy, but could definitely be a solid second option.

You know I know you are from Shiner? Lol He’s not close to the same level as UT’s Brooks and would seriously never see the field at UT…. Just look at his stats in a lower division vs our Brooks and Shiner had a disincentive better oline then Hallettsville. One broke records the others is just pretty good at a lower level….

Dalton reports offers from Texas, aggy, Bama, tOSU, LSU, OU, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC among others. Be pretty wild if he started out at Sam Houston

Be pretty wild if he started out at Sam Houston Like I said I was more focused on his RB play but how you can tell a good CB at that level surprises me he got that rating? I’m guessing height and speed but that’s a big gamble I’d say. Actually very surprised by his 247 rating, to me a much more of a project take then a RB who broke records at the level above. But what do I know about recruiting, seriously. Edited September 19, 20214 yr by Hook1997

September 19, 20214 yr Dalton Brooks is a stud. 6'2" 190 at FS with speed. Shiner is 4-0. If he committed soon, I would be very gruntled.

The not standout at that level and not same level of pure football player still stands. Using your logic, if I rated JBrooks on how he played CB it means he’d be a shitty player altogether. Im hoping Brooks does continue to grow but Whittington could and did play multiple positions and was a hell of a safety. Brooks was a meh DB and didn’t he give up the winning td that got Hall knocked out? I wouldn’t look at that play and say no way he ever plays D1. Maybe projecting recruits isn’t your forte.

September 20, 20214 yr Burton compared Brooks' "make you miss ability" to none other than Jamaal Charles. Yeah, I don't think so, but Brooks should be a fine player at Texas. They're only promised three years in the program, but I would try and redshirt Brooks this season. They need to create some separation from Bijan and Roschon.

September 21, 20214 yr I think the Jamaal comp is a similar slalom-like weave thru traffic, which I did see from Brooks Saturday. But I’m certain JB has nowhere the top end speed of Charles. Few do/have. Brooks really impressed me… yes, it was Rice, but he was navigating traffic and made a lot of people miss. I’m glad he got a chance to play, as we learned in 2018 (and the Baltimore Ravens this year), you can be down to your fourth RB option in a hurry.
