10. Kennedy Brooks

  • Mansfield , TX
  • 247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 252
  • Position Ranking: No. 18

Brooks is quick on his feet, especially once the ball is snapped and can evade oncoming tacklers by shifting his feet quickly and bursting through the hole. He is also very difficult to take down and once he finds the open field, he uses his speed to leave defenders in the dust.

In the 2015 season, he put up truly incredible numbers. Rushing the ball 431 times, he accumulated 3,522 yards and 41 touchdowns in what was a video game-like display. Those numbers were a tremendous boost for the year before as he rushed the ball 169 times for 1,271 yards and 14 touchdowns.

With 12 offers in total, many teams are taking notice of his talent. A four-star recruit, he has been the recipient of three offers recently. Arkansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin have all done so and it appears that the Razorbacks are the favorite to land him. The program could use another back in the fold as they have three upperclassmen at the position, including one senior (Kody Walker). Brooks could give them that boost needed in order to reach that next level.

Prediction: Arkansas
