Phillip Andrew Brooks III (b. Sept. 19, 1999) is a promising young wide receiver who played in four games in 2018, enough to preserve his redshirt season while still gaining experience.
Brooks returned three kickoffs for an 18.7-yard average and one punt for 6 yards. His best game as a kickoff returner was against Texas Tech — he had two returns for 44 total yards.
A four-year letter-winner at Lee’s Summit High School West under head coach Vinny Careswell, Brooks was named to the USA Today Sports All-USA Missouri team, as well as the Missouri Football Coaches Association All-State first team as a senior in 2017.
