Big pickup for LSU’s 2019 recruiting efforts today, as four-star linebacker Marcel Brooks announced his commitment to the Tigers on the final day of his official visit.
Brooks chose the Tigers over Alabama, and also held offers from Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Oklahoma, among others.
A 6-3, 200-pound linebacker/safety hybrid player, Brooks is rated as the No. 5 overall outside linebacker in the 247 sports composite, and the 112th overall player.
Speed immediately jumps off the board, as well as intensity. Brooks doesn’t like to give up touchdowns, and it shows. Nice form on his tackles as well.
