The Will Brooks appreciation post

[pricevol5]

Nice try for the do-over for the cringey Brooks > Iamaleava thread. I do not give you a mulligan

Brooks 80yard interception return for TD against NCSU blew the game wide open also. Brooks deserves to be a Tennessee Legend. He should NEVER pay for a meal again in the state of Tennessee.

He won't. He'll never pay for a drink in Knoxville again either. I bought a Chas Nimrod smokey grey jersey tonight, the one with the Tennessee flag on the shoulder, to make good on a drunken text to my buddies in Chattanooga. I don't have a blackout jersey yet. I'm thinking Brooks would be perfect for that one for my next UT jersey purchase. I'll never forget tonight's INT. Instant Vol legend!

Dude is a gamer. Birmingham chip on his shoulder. He and Miles were getting in their ears all night and I love it.

Will Brooks……the man Colton Jumper always wanted to be

 

[DaddyChad]

He should get a scholly.

After Georgia. Keep him hungry.

I’m kidding of course. He deserves a scholarship

My other post is still there so you sir can lick a dogs turd!

Just kidding GB!

I was wrong about him. He has played solid up to this point. Making open field tackles. A pick 6 several wks ago and the play at the end……WOW!!

 

[rocytop2624]

Made a TD saving tackle on Milroe on 4th down in the first half plus the pick

He had 3 TD saving tackles and the pick to save the game.

Racism is a one-way street don’t ya know

I hadn't really thought about it.

He should get a scholly.

Or an NFL contract?

 

[GoVols1961]

He should get a scholly.

I would bet he already gets some scholarship money from the academic side. That, along with some NIL should pay for his college experience. It would be nice to get the recognition and respect that comes with the athletic scholly, but isn't necessary in Will's case. He has proven himself to be a good player, and better yet, a good young man.

Brooks has supplanted Rod Wilkes legendary status with actual legendary game play.

Prepped at Vestavia Hills High School in Birmingham, Alabama. We spend lots of time in Vestavia Hills when we go to Hoover every year. Always liked it, but now Will Brooks makes it even better. Great game, young man!

 

[HiltonHeadVol]

Almost nothing better than earning your peers respect. Nice statement by Carter. And well deserved.

 

[FlVols]

So proud of Brooks. Don’t you know his trip back to Bham for Christmas will be interesting? So funny. Go Vols!

 

[strkr]

Now that right there is a good example of being good teammates.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

This is awesome!

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Great job so far kid. We're halfway home. Let's finish up 6-0..GoVols

 

[tennesseeduke]

He should get a scholly.

Or NIL

 

[tennesseeduke]

He better get the game ball!

For the defense. Sampson for the offense

 

[NighthawkVol]

Can we all get behind a walk-on player who is playing his @ss off for a spot on this team. He literally stuck the dagger in Bama in a way so many Vols of the past 20 years did not do. This is special and should be recognized as exceptional. I'm so proud of this guy! He's displaying the full spirit of a VFL.

I've never loved a Vols player as much because of his circumstances.

Please if you see him in Knoxville but him a drink and a steak!

GB!

He’s not just exceeding expectations. He’s playing really good football by SEC safety standards. The INT was huge, but he played well the whole game yesterday.

 

[NighthawkVol]

He should get a scholly.

Pretty sure he’s on scholarship now.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Or NIL

This needs to happen
