Early life

Brooks attended C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he helped lead two VHSL state championships during his freshman and sophomore year (1998 and 1999). Becoming recognized, Brooks' team was nationally ranked, going 40–0 before losing to Potomac High School of Woodbridge, Virginia, during his junior season in 2000. Brooks injured his ankle during his junior season, which sidelined him that year. His senior season in 2001 was very productive—Brooks had 202 tackles (144 solo), including 34 for loss, and rushed for 848 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 12.6 yards per carry. The semifinal loss to Thomas Dale High School of Chester, Virginia, in 2001 was the only loss in which he played. Brooks was named the USA Today national high school defensive player of the year after the 2001 season. He also participated in the 2002 U.S. Army All-American Bowl game.

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Brooks was listed as the number-one middle linebacker in the nation in 2002. [1]

College career

Following high school, Brooks spent a semester at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, a military post-graduate school, before enrolling in the University of Virginia in the winter of 2003. He earned a starting position on the Virginia Cavaliers football team as a freshman and finished the year with a career-high and team-leading 117 tackles. Brooks also had four sacks, six passes defensed, 10 tackles for loss, and 15 quarterback pressures. He had a career-high 12 tackles against Pittsburgh in the Continental Tire Bowl, including a key stop early in the contest to complete a goal-line stand.

During his sophomore year at the University of Virginia, Brooks was one of three Butkus Award finalists, awarded annually to the best college linebacker in the country. He played in 12 games, earning All-America honors after totaling a team-leading 90 tackles with eight sacks, two interceptions, 11 quarterback pressures, and 10 tackles for loss. Brooks earned Atlantic Coast Conference defensive lineman of the week honors for his performance against the Maryland Terrapins. Following his sophomore campaign, Brooks underwent knee surgery.

Brooks missed the first half of his junior year while rehabilitating his knee. Brooks finished the year with 27 tackles (10 solo), a sack, four pass deflections, and five quarterback pressures in only six games. Brooks was dismissed from the Cavalier football team following the 2005 season due to issues off the field.
