Incredible. http://www.hudl.com/v/2Fp3Jt *Props to JM (or the Tyler Legacy staff) for continuing to post hudl highlights despite being committed. edit- Apologies for posting Jamarion Miller highlight link in the JB thread - but it seemed worth a reply.

September 24, 20214 yr Brooks appears to have been ready for opportunities. I like it when kid makes good use of the time after high school to get himself ready to play. I also like smaller district RBs because they often play both ways and/or at multiple offensive positions and imo that makes for a better all around football player. I think this kid gets his time right after #5 inks his first contract.

When Butch Hadnot broke off those consecutive 10+ yards runs for first downs in that OU game, I got light headed. I actually had to sit down and wait for the second running play and then stood up, watched him gash the line and then started to fuzzy and had to sit down again. I wasn’t drinking and that had never happened to me before, nor has it happened since (including against USC in the Rose Bowl), but it happened that day. Butch Hadnot’s runs nearly made me pass out. 🤷♂️

September 25, 20214 yr I understand it's against backups, but Brooks looks pretty damn smooth when he's in.

September 25, 20214 yr Hadnot was pure Earl Campbell for a stretch back in that day. Edited September 25, 20214 yr by XOVERX
September 26, 20214 yr I'm sure part of it is the #24 but Brooks looks like a smaller Joe Bergeron. I hope he’s not a “run 10 yards to gain 2” back like Bergeron.

September 26, 20214 yr I’m not going to go back and watch Bama tape to figure it out but he reminds me of one of their studs of the past decade.
April 1, 20223 yr The foresight of kids these days--picking schools based on the future deaths of their parents. Damn.

October 1, 20232 yr This staff knows how to evaluate and develop. Brooks and also Burke show that it’s not always about star chasing. Sometimes it is, but being able to evaluate and develop is so important.

October 1, 20232 yr Every time aggy claims B/CS is the obvious place for small-school prospects to play college ball, I think of guys like Brooks. He seems to have adjusted to the bright lights just fine.

October 1, 20232 yr Arian Foster was playing like an all pro RB until he became a vegan. Subsequently, he battled nagging injuries and played like crap. The only variable that changed was Foster’s diet. Not a fan.

Some questioned JB's numbers at 3A Hallettsville (70 TD), but his twitchiness clearly translates to D-1. FYI, Jordan Whittington played at 4A Quero, ~ 30 miles down the road. Not bad for a couple of rural country boys. JB does so many things well, but one of my favorite plays is the botched QB sneak-first down v. Alabama. We always hear a RB runs too high, but what is the alternative? JB, picking up the ball, and running, with his knees a few inches above the ground and a center of gravity ~ 2 feet above the ground.

Colt and Quan Cosby both played in 2A iirc. JB is the type of player that would normally end up at TCU, Baylor Tech etc...and run roughshod over our D. Gotta be more careful with the eval considering the competition they face (both for playing time and opponents) but that doesn't mean they can't play football at the highest level.
