Another former Auburn Tiger has found his next school. [autotag]Dylan Brooks[/autotag] announced his commitment to the Kansas Jayhawks Monday on Twitter.
Brooks came to Auburn as a top 100 recruit and was the highest-ranked member in the 2021 recruiting class. However, he never made the impact expected, he redshirted his freshman season and appeared in nine games last season as a reserve at edge.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder made six tackles, 1.0 tackle for loss, 1.0 sack, recovered a fumble and defended one pass in those nine games.
He will have three seasons of eligibility for the Jayhawks, who went 6-7 last season under Lance Leipold and made a bowl game for the first time since 2008.
Brooks entered the transfer portal on April 29 after he was expected to be in the rotation at jack linebacker this season. When he entered the portal Auburn had just three jack linebackers on the roster, none of whom were on the Plains last season.
They have filled that hole by adding four players this offseason in transfers Elijah McAllister (Vanderbilt) and Jalen McLeod (App State) and true freshmen Keldric Faulk and Brenton Williams.
