When the Badgers do go south to offer players like Brooks, they end up competing with some of the sport’s recruiting blue bloods on the player’s offer sheet. In this case some of those programs include Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Texas, Texas A&M and Oregon.
And that isn’t even mentioning the Big Ten as Michigan, Penn State, Minnesota and Nebraska have all offered the cornerback.
QB Myles Burkett is the only player currently committed to Wisconsin’s class of 2022, though the program recently received a 247Sports crystal prediction for four-star in-state defensive end Isaac Hamm.

Sooners Wire spoke with 2022 defensive back Terrance Brooks on his recruitment from the Oklahoma Sooners.
One of the targets for the upcoming 2022 recruiting class is John Paul II’s Terrance Brooks. He is not a player that lacks confidence, which is a trait that you want in a defensive back. As much as the physical tools are an important part of the makeup, they need to have the confidence to shut down an opposing wide receiver on any given night.
Sooners Wire recently spoke with the four-star cornerback about his recruitment process up until this point. “This last season was good, made a lot of plays on the field and dominated,” Brooks replied when asked about the 2020 season. “Even though it was cut short, I started working on my craft on the side a lot getting ready for next season.”
Brooks was offered by the Oklahoma Sooners back in July of 2020. They were among a group of schools that offered the talented defensive back. He stated that he has talked with cornerbacks coach Roy Manning, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, and head coach Lincoln Riley. Notably, Brooks mentioned Texas, Oklahoma State, and Texas Christian on his list of schools.
We asked Brooks what was the biggest draw to coming to Norman. “The biggest draw to OU is the amount of playing time I’m going to get and the relationship with the coaches.” At this point in time, Brooks stated that his recruitment was still wide open. He will likely narrow down his list of schools around spring break.

He’s definitely not Duron Harmon’s replacement.
New England Patriots safety Adrian Phillips is not Duron Harmon’s replacement. It just so happened that Phillips’ signing occurred within 24 hours of Bill Belichick’s decision to send Harmon to the Detroit Lions. But they don’t seem to be too deeply related.
Yes, Phillips plays the same position as Harmon, nominally. They are both safeties. Harmon was more of a free safety in 2019, working in the deep half of the defense, where he served as a ballhawk. That’s not really Phillips. He is a bigger, bruising safety who is just as likely to line up inside the box as he is to cover a tight end. Sound familiar?
Patrick Chung does that already in the Patriots’ defense. Chung has long been a versatile defensive back, who is just as competent as a run-defender as he is in coverage. The Patriots often use Chung as a hybrid linebacker, which is no small feat for a 210-pound defensive back. When Chung dealt with injuries, the team turned to Terrance Brooks, who wasn’t entirely dependable in that role. Brooks, largely a special teams player with the New York Jets, saw 27 percent of defensive snaps. Chung got 63 percent of defensive snaps.
It’s likely both of their roles will get scaled back. For Chung, the Patriots surely respect both his age, 32, and his physical playing style. Fewer snaps during the regular season could help him play more in the postseason. After Brooks’ struggles, the Patriots may want an upgrade for their backup strong safety.
Devin McCourty will get a huge workload as the team’s top free safety. He’s most likely to take on Harmon’s snaps.
