The 6-foot-7, 360-pound Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star committed to Texas, choosing the Longhorns over Georgia, Iowa, and USC.
Brooks took an official visit to Austin in June, and the Longhorns have charged all the way to the top ever since. Brooks joins Jackson Christian, Devin Coleman, Jordan Coleman, and John Mills as O-linemen in the 2025 class.
Evaluation from the Recruiting Notebook
Brooks is another large human of the sort we’ve become accustomed to seeing at Texas in the Flood era. He’s an easy mover at 6-foot-7, 360 pounds who reminds of Cam Williams or Andre Cojoe from previous classes. Brooks can get low and move well for such a big man on zone concepts but also pulling on counter runs. He’ll profile as a right tackle but there’s a chance he could end up as a left tackle if his pass protection skills develop. Moving inside to guard at that height probably isn’t in the cards but he is a physical run blocker. – Ian Boyd
More from our Charlie Williams:
- Big human
- A mauler with tremendous athleticism
- Can really move and run for his size
- Finishes blocks and plays with a nasty attitude
- Very violent hands and punch
- Can move in space and be a lead blocker on screens or reverses
- Has really good feet and technique
- Shows great upper and lower body strength as he overpowers his opponents
- Very versatile and can play left or right tackle
Brooks would give Flood another big guy who can play tackle. There’s a reason schools known for developing O-linemen like Texas, Georgia, Iowa, and USC want him. He has the size, skills, and tools to be a future first-round pick. He has the ability to step in and be on the two-deep at Texas on day one if he chooses the Longhorns.
