2023 Rush/Rec Projections
Falls one yard shy of century mark
Brooks accrued 21 carries for 99 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all five targets for negative three yards during Saturday's 34-14 Independence Bowl win over California.
ANALYSIS
Brooks claimed a workhorse role for the Red Raiders during the 2023 campaign, totaling a whopping 291 rush attempts, which will likely wind up as the top mark among all backs in college football. The extensive workload didn't spoil Brooks' efficiency, upping his per-carry mark from 4.7 last year to 5.3 in 2023. Brooks tallied career-best marks with 1,551 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns in 2023, and, due to the COVID-19 season in 2020, Brooks has a fifth year of eligibility to use, and he's announced he will return to Lubbock for one more rodeo in 2024.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Brooks seem to have some ability and was certainly a productive ballcarrier for Texas Tech last year, but his pass-catching history is limited and he's stuck in one of the country's most crowded backfields. SaRodorick Thompson has functioned as the RB1 for the last three years and Xavier White is no slouch, so it's not clear how much Brooks might be able to build on a 2021 season that saw him average 6.5 yards per carry. It doesn't help that Texas Tech has a weak defense that tends to leave them playing catch-up.
