As a senior, he set a career high with 1,253 rushing yards, including one 200-yard game and four 100-yard rushing games. That same year, Brooks was named the offensive MVP of the Alamo Bowl after rushing for 142 yards and three TDs and catching three passes for 24 yards versus Oregon and was a semi-finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award (given to the offensive player in Division I football who best exhibits integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity). The 25-year-old was also named second-team All-Big 12 by coaches and media in 2019 and a USA Today Freshman All-American and Pro Football Focus Second-Team All-American as a freshman in 2018 after rushing for 100-plus yards in five different games that season.
