Texas Tech football: Former Illinois RB to walk-on at Tech - Wreck 'em Red

In addition to Texas Tech, the 5-foot-7, 160-pounder from Plano, Texas held offers from the likes of BYU, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, San Diego State, SMU, Washington State, and others. He's carried the ball twice for 11 yards, caught five passes for 47 yards, and returned a pair of punts for a combined 11 yards. Last year, he ran for 610 yards and 8 TDs in only 10 games played. The Lubbock prospect was second on the team in rushing with 436 yards and a pair of scores. Racking up 255 yards and four TDs on just 69 rushes, Brooks is primed for an increased role this season after getting his feet wet last season. Though he got only 18 carries, on which he racked up 99 yards and a TD, last season, he is going to be featured more prominently in new offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie's scheme this year. Thanks to a redshirt in 2019 and the fact that last season did not count towards any player's eligibility status, he retains all four years of eligibility meaning that he could be a potential long-term piece of the puzzle for Tech.

This is yet another example of head coach Matt Wells dipping into the transfer portal to replenish his roster's depth.
