LSU will be honoring [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag] during Saturday night’s home game against Auburn by painting his No. 3 on the field at the 25-yard lines.
Brooks was recently diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer, after undergoing a procedure earlier this season to remove a brain tumor. LSU has dedicated the season to Brooks, and it will be paying tribute to him as he continues to battle cancer.
LSU has also worn helmet stickers all year that display the No. 3.
A transfer addition from Arkansas last offseason, Brooks has been a key fixture in LSU’s defensive backfield over the last two seasons, seeing action as both a starting safety and nickel.

It’s unclear if the No. 3s will remain on the field beyond this weekend’s game, which kicks off at 6 p.m. CT.
