Entering the season, few people outside of Lubbock were discussing Jordyn Brooks. And even though the most astute of Texas Tech football fans were well aware of how important he is to this program, it is safe to say that no one thought he’d blow up the way he has through the first five games of the season.
After his unreal 19-tackle, 3-sack game in Saturday’s upset of No 21 Oklahoma State, the Houston native now sits atop the Big 12 leaderboard in regards to tackles with 60. He leads TCU’s Garrett Wallow by five and OSU’s Malcolm Rodriguez by 11.
