FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas cornerback target Gregory Brooks, a Mississippi State commitment, left his official visit to Fayetteville on Sunday thinking hard about the Razorbacks.
“It was good,“ Brooks said. “I was really impressed. I like it a lot. It just opened my eyes a lot. A lot of different ways. I thought it was gonna be country here. It showed me different and I had fun.”
Brooks, 5-11, 175 pounds of Harvey (La.) West Jefferson, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri, Kansas State and numerous others. The Hogs lost 24-17 to LSU on Saturday, but that didn’t faze him.
“The game was just live,” Brooks said. “Even though they didn't win it was a good atmosphere.”
He gave insight about Arkansas’ chances with him after the trip.
“It went up high,” Brooks said. “Real high.”
ESPN rates Brooks a 4-star recruit, the No. 36 cornerback in the nation and No. 18 prospect in Louisiana. He recorded 55 tackles and five interceptions as a junior.
Brooks is being recruited by cornerbacks coach Mark Smith and safeties coach Ron Cooper.
“It was good,” he said. “Getting a good relationship with them.”
