“Wow, this guy can play.” That’s what I thought when I watched my first Colby Brooks highlight clip on YouTube. Maybe it was the #20 jersey, but I thought he looked and played a little like Elias Harris. (Brooks gave up #20 at Gonzaga when Kaden Perry arrived)

Colby Brooks ostensibly broke the mold for the Gonzaga walk-on when he arrived in 2020. For the most part, GU Walk-ons were usually 6’ 5” or below from an Oregon/Washington high school with a connection to the University, the coaching staff or they were a coach’s kid who’d probably be entering the family business.
