Arkansas cornerback Greg Brooks celebrates a pass breakup during a game against Georgia on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas nickelback Greg Brooks is thinking about football into the early morning hours.
“Sometimes he texts me at 3 a.m., 2 a.m., like ‘Coach, you up?’ ” said Sam Carter, who coaches Arkansas’ cornerbacks and nickelbacks. “And I’m like, ‘Man, I’m trying to go to sleep.’ He’s just asking me questions about different formations.”
Brooks’ father, Gregory Brooks, played cornerback at Michigan, Southern Mississippi and in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2004-06 after being a sixth-round draft pick.
