After announcing his top three teams earlier this month, four-star offensive lineman Nick Brooks revealed his choice on Friday afternoon. Brooks committed to the Texas Longhorns, choosing Steve Sarkisian’s team over Georgia and USC.
Brooks was long seen as a Bulldog lean, but he had begun trending heavily toward Texas in recent days.
He is listed at 6 feet, 7 inches and 345 pounds. He played his junior year at Kennedy High in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before transferring to Grayson High in Loganville, Georgia, for this season. He is the 14th-rated tackle in the nation and 20th-rated player in Georgia.
Brooks’ commitment gives the Longhorns a much-needed recruiting victory in a class that has started somewhat slower than those of recent years. They are 12th nationally and eighth in the SEC.
The Bulldogs are fourth nationally, trailing only Ohio State, Alabama and LSU, respectively, on the 247Sports’ team recruiting composite. Georgia holds commitments from four offensive lineman in the class of 2025.
