Mid-year enrollee

Notable: He is the son of former NFL linebacker standout Keith Brooking, who coached Logan in high school. Brooking’s top schools list before committing had Florida, Michigan, Miami, Penn State, South Carolina, North Carolina and Stanford on it. Over the last three seasons, Brooking totaled 84 catches for 1,206 yards and six touchdowns, adding 189 total tackles, 32.5 TFL and 20.5 sacks from the defensive side.

Quotable: “Talented all around football player who shows the ability to play at the high major level on both sides of the ball. Recruited more as a tight end but talented edge rusher as well. Catches the ball really well, strong hands and little wasted motion in securing the ball and getting up the field. Comfortable working the deep levels of the field and has good ball awareness. Tracks the football really well and routinely makes contested catches. Runs well and gives you something after the catch. Love the physicality in the run game, has an edge to him and finishes his blocks. Impressive defensive highlights as well, can get up the field and bullies opposing tackles. Projects as an every down TE you can play in any situation and has all the tools to be an impact player and multi-year starter.” 247Sports on Brooking.
