Depth was an important key for the Cincinnati Bearcats this season, especially on the defensive line, which was easily the best positional group on the team. While guys like Cortez Broughton and Marquise Copeland racked up stats and captured headlines, they didn’t play every single snap. That’s where guys like Curtis Brooks made their impact.
In his sophomore season, Brooks once again played more than you might realize. He appeared in 12 games this year, including the Military Bowl victory against Virginia Tech. His only missed contest was at SMU at the end of October.
