The first time Michael Locksley recruited Elijah Brooks, the DeMatha High running back decided he would see the field a lot faster at William & Mary than at Maryland.
“I wasn’t good enough to play here,” Brooks recalled Wednesday at Maryland Stadium.
Locksley’s second recruiting job on Brooks was more successful. It came shortly after Locksley was hired as Maryland’s coach in early December.
Brooks, who had been DeMatha’s coach for the past eight years, became the first assistant to join Locksley’s staff, this time as the running backs coach.
