The four-star Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive tackle is a former Iowa commit who recently moved back to the state of Georgia for his final high school season after spending part of it in Iowa.

“It’s just the family, the overall family atmosphere, NIL, the coaching staff. It was a lot of things. I just feel myself being there emotionally and physically. I can see the people that I’m working with. The players, they’re calling me to check on me, even the QBs. Not many guys are talking to the QBs.”Brooks told 247Sports.
