LSU got an unfortunate surprise Friday evening as sophomore linebacker Marcel Brooks entered his name into the NCAA Transfer portal. The news was first reported by Geaux247’s Shea Dixon.
Brooks may now be contacted by coaches at any other university about transferring. Brooks does maintain the right to remove his name from the portal and stay at LSU.
Brooks appeared in 11 games last season and was an emerging pass rushing threat. The safety/linebacker hybrid recorded eight tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks as a freshman. Brooks was thought to be a starting linebacker for the 2020 season.
