Keion Brooks tells his story

“Meet The Wildcats” started the week off with a new feature on freshman forward Keion Brooks Jr.

A product out of Fort Wayne (IN), Brooks has loved the game of basketball from an early age.

“As long as I can remember, I’ve always had a ball in my hand. I always gravitated towards basketball because it was just something I fell in love with early.”

Brooks comes from a basketball family, as Keion Brooks Sr. played Division I basketball at Wright State and played professionally as well.

With his grandparents having passed away, they are now Brooks’ motivation to continue to work hard and not only grow as a basketball player, but as a person.
