Ja'Corey Brooks is a wide receiver who began his collegiate career at Alabama before transferring to Louisville for the 2024 season. Standing at 6-foot-1.5 and weighing 191 pounds, Brooks was a five-star recruit and the No. 2 wide receiver in the 2021 class. During his time at Alabama, he accumulated 57 receptions for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns over three seasons. In 2024, after transferring to Louisville, he had a breakout year with 61 receptions for 1,013 yards and 9 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-ACC honors.
Brooks is known for his ball-tracking ability and deceptive speed, often covering ground quickly with his long strides despite a projected 40-yard dash time of 4.65 seconds. He has a clean frame but lacks play strength, which can affect his performance against physical defenders. His route running has been described as inconsistent, with some scouts noting a tendency to be predictable. Despite these concerns, his special teams experience, including blocking punts, adds value to his profile.
