Do you think he'll stay at LB, or do you think he'll eventually move to safety?

Good question and I've wondered the same. He's a great pass rusher so maybe we should put 25 lbs of muscle on him and make him an OLB

The coaches want him a OLB so that's where he'll stay

linebacker. an athlete like that at outside linebacker is a huge boon, especially with the way he rushes the qb

Speed on defense is so important, i hope he stays at LB. That speed at harder to find at LB than safety.

I think he adds about 20-25 lbs of muscle in the offseason and stays as an rush OLB... The dude is just going to be an absolute monster! At least I did call it in the offseason saying he would have the biggest impact as a freshman outside of Stingley

He's similar to what everyone wanted with Holiday at DE

I think he's the prototypical Jack LB that Aranda wants. Can do it all, rush the QB, play coverage, and tackle in space. Once he gets better at reading/shedding blocks which will come with more experience he'll make a lot of money for himself.

I think it could be awesome if he would play both. Look at Isaiah Simmons who just won the Butkus at Clemson. He has lined up all over the place this year. If Brooks can play anything like that then his versatility will be a tremendous asset to the defense. Being able to switch from LB to safety with some pass rush mixed in means that you can avoid mismatches and disguise coverages and blitzes.

He'll play the hybrid role. Similar to JaCoby Stevens

Lb Shaq Thompson is a good comp and he’s doing pretty well for the panthers, was a safety/lb out of Washington, and is playing at 224lbs in the nfl ,also only listed at 6”0 but I think he measured 5” 11 and some change at the combine.
