[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] provided the latest update for [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag] on Monday.
Brooks was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. He is a graduate student at LSU after transferring from Arkansas two years ago. He was the quarterback of the LSU secondary and he was always there when the Tigers needed a big play.
Now, he fights a battle that is bigger than football.
“Greg has been transferred to the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis,” Kelly said on the Paul Finebaum Show. “He’s a strong man and we’re hoping that this next surgery allows him to begin the next challenge of battling cancer.”
