Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks was in the midst of a true breakout season as a redshirt sophomore until a torn anterior cruciate ligament derailed everything in November of 2023.
Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, Brooks still is positioned among the top backs in the class, and he should find a willing suitor as early as Day 2. After redshirting as a true freshman in ’21, he went on to see just 32 touches over seven games the next season while playing behind eventual NFL draft picks Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson.
In his 11 appearances last year, Brooks showed off his receiving chops and found the end zone 11 total times on his way to a team-high 1,139 rushing yards and a Second-Team All-Big 12 selection.
