Greg Brooks Jr transferred into LSU this offseason from Arkansas, where he had a marginally successful career. He is a huge part of the LSU defense in 2022, playing a rotation between deep safety and box defender. Brooks has another year of eligibility, which I would expect him to use, but is a very legitimate pro prospect for an NFL secondary somewhere.

Greg Brooks Jr scouting notes

Pros: 

• Very quick. Moves extremely well. Very athletic player. 
• Solid lateral quickness. 
• Has solid upper body strength. 
• Changes direction decently well. Above average for the NFL level. 
• Very strong wrap-up tackler. Delivers a good hit while wrapping up, awesome technique. 
• Consistently made tackles in space, even when not getting the best pursuit angle on a player. 
• Decent blitzer. 
• Plays deep coverage decently well.

Cons: 

• I’d like to see Brooks play with more intensity in space. 
• Likes to work down into the box in run support. Pursuit angles overall aren’t consistent. 
• Didn’t play a lot of man coverage in the LSU scheme. 
• Needs to get better depth in zone assignments. Tends to cheat up too easily. Tends to be undisciplined in zone coverage, jumping into other people’s zones.
