Although he took a visit back in March to see the Seminoles, Brooks got the feeling that the program didn’t want him, and he committed to the California Bears in April. In late November, Brooks decommitted from California, and Florida State didn’t waste time getting back in the mix and eventually closed the deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh man. It was crazy. When I decommitted, a good number of schools were reaching out,\u201d Brooks said via Warchant<\/a>. \u201cFlorida State was actually one of the last schools to contact me. But they made it clear when we talked that any time I wanted to commit, they wanted me. And that\u2019s all I needed. They wanted me.\u201d<\/p>\n Brooks had 35 offers from some of the top schools around the nation, like Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, and USC. However, for Brooks, FSU was always the top choice for him.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a blessing. That\u2019s the first thing I can say,\u201d said Brooks last week<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been a huge blessing, because who would\u2019ve thought Florida State, first off? Last week, I decommitted from Cal \u2026 didn\u2019t know what to expect because I was committed to them for so long. Lost contact with a lot of coaches. \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThis was the dream school before my recruitment started. This was my dream school. They just weren\u2019t really recruiting me. Then 360 (degrees), now I\u2019m going here.\u201d<\/p>\n
