Antoine Brooks Jr. will lead Maryland football’s defense at a new position

Over the past eight weeks, we’ve previewed a number of position groups at Testudo Times. After running through the defensive line and linebackers over the past two weeks, we’re transitioning into the secondary.

Antoine Brooks Jr. has been one of Maryland’s top defensive players over the past two seasons and has appeared on multiple watch lists for defensive awards over the past few weeks. After playing more of a hybrid linebacker/defensive back position, the Lanham, Maryland, native will play safety in new defensive coordinator Jon Hoke’s 3-4 scheme.
