Brooks had a big year for the Eagles in 2016, finishing with 90 tackles and five sacks. His biggest play last year came in the state semifinals against Klein Collins when he took a fumble recovery for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter that gave the Eagles the lead and eventually the win over the Tigers.
Brooks currently has two offers: one from UTSA and the other from Texas State. He’ll now have his opportunity to step in to a Sachse team that finished 11-1 last year and will look to build on that strong 2016 run for the Mustangs.
