TCU is getting a huge addition to their program as multiple sources have told HornedFrogBlitz on Tuesday afternoon that former LSU linebacker Marcel Brooks is headed to the Big 12 program.

Brooks entered the NCAA transfer portal on June 26 and TCU immediately became the favorite as the athletic defender said he wanted to play closer to home. Sources told HFB that Brooks is on campus today (Tuesday) and will be able to start working out with the team as soon as he passes a physical.

So was this a “be close to family” thing or an “I have no place in this 4-3” thing”?

Won't hear about him in 2 years, you'll be like oh I remember him.

Vernonbrew22•51 months

TCU gonna be a force with all the recent pick-ups (including number 1 RB from Northshore). That said, still no match for the LSU Tigers. We still coming

JakeFromStateFarm•51 months

Yeah they might be able to improve from 5-7 and actually go .500 with those two.

brewdrees•51 months

They couldn't beat LSU backups

AndrewD•51 months

Get real, TCU didn't even make it into December last year. 5-7

USF be homesick.

GeauxGutsy•51 months

He helped win a NC at LSU and has 3 rings to show Fort Worth/TCU. Good for recruiting. He’s moving home to play for Gary Patterson at a great university. You will be missed young man! Thank you for your contributions!

Peter167•51 months

Man that's another beast gone from that team defense taking a drop off fr

Dennis4LSU•51 months

You honestly believe with this much gif as LSU has that that defense is going to drop off ? okay I guess everybody is entitled to their opinion

Peter167•51 months

Figured close to home Too bad for LSU I believe they lost a very good player we shall see

I think this shows the family issue (sickness) was real and now he will be close to home. I wish him luck and glad we don't have to face him in the SEC!

LATECHgradLSUfan•51 months

Pepe Lepew•51 months

Shocked

I do not agree with your comments. Closer to home my arse. College kids all over the country play away from home. If you commit,stand by your word. If he is fortunate to play in the pros will he only play for Dallas or Houston so he can stay close to Mommy and Daddy?

Peter167•51 months

Not if u have a sick parent and dont wanna miss the chance to visit before death idk the situation on his father tho thought he was sick

denvertiger•51 months

If plays in the pros he'll be able to take a flight to stay close to mommy and daddy. "Stand by your word"...jesus h, some of you are so f'ing naive.

ColdTurkey•51 months

Well this freakin sucks.

partywiththelombardi•51 months

I haven't been this disappointed since I got sucked into the hype train of Phelon Jones. Wish the best but wish he could have found it here.

Hangit•51 months

He was raised aboot 30 miles from his new locker.

ChanceOfRainIsNever•51 months

Best of luck Marcel. Would’ve loved to see you stay but you need to do what’s best for yourself and your family. TCU is getting a good one, he was just scratching the surface here of what he can be. Thanks for your hard work and thanks for being a Tiger

catnip•51 months

Well he is shortening his closeness to home by 100 miles and 1 and a half hours. Still over 300 miles from Lubbock to near Dallas. Good luck Marcel. Gonna miss you.

ElderTiger•51 months

Uh, TCU is in Fort Worth. Texas Tech is in Lubbock.

LSUrme•51 months

I thought he was from Flower Mound? That's right next to Ft. Worth.

reauxl tigers•51 months

I just don’t understand why he can’t last just 2 more years away from home until he’s god knows where in the NFL.

OTIS2•51 months

Good luck. Mr Brooks can play.

rob62•51 months

Good luck to the young man.
