Brooks Jr. didn’t play against Mississippi State and will not be playing Saturday night against the Razorbacks.
“Greg Jr. was diagnosed last week with a large brain tumor that required emergency surgery,” Brooks’ family said in a statement. “Doctors successfully performed the procedure Friday to remove the mass, and we are awaiting biopsy results.”
His status for the remainder of the season is still up in the air, as he and his family await biopsy results.
In the two games Brooks Jr. had played this season, he had accumulated eight tackles. Brian Kelly dedicated the game ball to him after the Mississippi State game last weekend.
