Highly recruited LB Ellis Brooks 6'2" 220lbs of Richmond, VA made USC one of his junior day stops earlier this month and saw enough to be convinced to keep the Gamecocks on his list. Some of his other offers are Notre Dame, Duke, Virginia Tech, East Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, NC State, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Wake Forest. Clemson is among other schools showing interest. He has also been to Duke for a junior day and was at Georgia this past weekend.
“I don’t have a number listing anything one thru ten with my offers or anything like that but they are definitely near the top,” Brooks said of USC. “It’s a great school and a great opportunity to play football. They like how physical I am and how I’m a hard hitter, always sticking my head in there. I have a motor and I’m non-stop and I can continue to play no matter what. They see me as a middle linebacker, a Mike or Will type person.”
Brooks wants to make his decision before next season and remains interested in anyone who offers him a scholarship. Coleman Hutzler is recruiting him for USC and he’s planning a return visit to USC for a spring practice for the spring game.
Brooks said his school doesn’t ordinarily allow early graduation but it is something he’s looking into. He does not have any favorites. Last season he had 117 tackles with 18 tackles for loss and 6 sacks.
