– Gabe Brooks
Verified just shy of 6-4 with a thick developed frame. Possesses growth potential to add another 15-20 pounds to his frame. Displays good athleticism, primarily operating out of the slot, unique for his size. Natural mover with loose hips. Shows slight ankle stiffness on in-breaking routes but exhibits some short-area wiggle and elusiveness in the open field. Highly productive RAC threat. Utilizes his size and frame well at the catch point and displays natural pass-catching ability down the field. Shows the ability to change gears and create separation in space and possesses the top-end speed to outrun defenders in the open field. Unique blend of size, speed, and athleticism as he continues to round into form and add some nuance to his game. Performed better than expected at the Future 50 and was excellent on the hoof. Expect to take another leap as a junior. Will be interesting to see where he is body type-wise two years from now but trending in the right direction.
