“…This year did not end the way we wanted or expected but, it is a part of the process of building a foundation. Normally, this is where you hear the part about me moving on to the next chapter, but I believe my story in Baton Rouge is not over. I will continue this path to greatness at LSU for one more year. I want to close this chapter the right way alongside my brothers and Tiger nation,” wrote Brooks Via Twitter.
