3. Greg Brooks

When Brooks showed up on campus in 2019, he was a star instantly. He started all 12 games his freshman year and recorded 25 tackles, 13 solo, three pass deflections, and a pick. Over the next two seasons, he added another 78 tackles, 40 solo, five pass deflections, and three interceptions, including a pick-six against Mississippi State. His last interception as a Hog, however, was the one to remember.

After 2021, Brooks decided to transfer to LSU. As a Harvey, La. native, Brooks grew up wanting to play for the Tigers. Although it hurt, fans couldn't be mad at a kid living out his childhood dreams. Unfortunately, he played only one full season at LSU. In 2023, Brooks was diagnosed with a brain tumor that cut his last season short. He's since had surgery, but the recovery process will be long and slow.
