Breaking Throug
Freshman cornerback Jay Brooks
shed his rookie fear in a notable
Kickoff Classic performance
BY AL LAZARUS
The Battalion
P laying against Florida State Uni
versity had long been a dream of
Texas A&M freshman cornerback
Jay Brooks.
But when the dream became reality
for Brooks as A&M squared off against
the Seminoles in the 1998 Kickoff Clas
sic, the freshman cornerback was not
exactly jumping for joy.
“I was scared being out there against
one of the best teams in the nation,”
Brooks said. “I was so nervous, I didn’t
know what to do.”
Compounding his anxiety was the
fact that in his first collegiate game he
and his defensive backfield teammates
had the unenviable task of covering
Florida State’s Peter Warrick, one of the
top receivers in the nation.
“The more they throw,
the more plays I can
make”
— Jay Brooks
A&M freshman cornerback
Brooks said while he tried to act con
fident the first time he lined up against
Warrick, he knew he was not fooling
his opponent.
“I’m pretty sure he saw it in my
face,” Brooks said. “And on the sec
ond play, they threw the ball to my
side, and when [Warrick] broke [to the
ball], my feet wouldn’t move, and I
just fell on the ground.”
In the waning moments of the first
half with the Aggies trailing 10-7,
Brooks officially made the transfor
mation from wide-eyed freshman to
big-time playmaker.
After a fumble caused by a
Christian Rodriguez hit on
Florida State quarterback Chris
Weinke, Brooks scooped the
ball into his arms and returned
it for a touchdown, giving the
Aggies a halftime lead against
the No. 2 team in the nation.
Brooks said the thought of
making a big play had crossed
his mind before the game.
“1 wanted to make one big
play, but mainly I just wanted
to be out there and not get beat
deep on national television,”
Brooks said.
Brooks finished the game
with five tackles and two
fumble recoveries, solidifying
his stance as a starter on a
team loaded with talented
cornerbacks.
Larry Slade, defensive
backs coach for the Aggies,
said Brooks’ hard work over
the summer helped him earn
his starting role.
“He came out of spring
football as a guy that we knew
would be competing, but he’s
just taken it to the next level,
Slade said.
Slade said in addition to Brooks’ 4.52
second 40-yard-dash time and 37-inch
vertical leap, he has qualities that can
not be measured.
“[Brooks] has great instincts, that’s
probably his greatest asset,” Slade said.
Another asset is his leadership abil
ity, which during his career at Ellison
High School in Killeen, earned him the
nickname “Chief.”
Brooks said his coach gave him the
nickname his sophomore year.
“I started on varsity my sophomore
year, and 1 was the only sophomore out
there, so I was kind of a leader, even to
the varsity players,” he said.
Michael Jameson, a sophomore safe
ty for the Aggies, played with Brooks in
high school and said his play again?
Florida State did not surprise him.
“It reminded me of how it used to be
in high school. To come out and play
the type of game he played really made
me proud of him,” Jameson said.
In Saturday's game against Louisiana
Tech the Aggies will once again face a
team that poses a major passing threat.
While it might be expected for a
young cornerback to dread facing a
strong passing team like Louisiana
Tech, Brooks said he will welcome the
Bulldogs with open arms.
“I’m going to be happy,” Brooks
said. “The more they throw, the more
plays 1 can make.”
