Florida State football is proceeding through its annual Tour of Duty workouts ahead of spring practice, which starts in just a couple of weeks.
Warchant has learned that during one of those training sessions, freshman edge rusher Cam Brooks sustained a torn Achilles; he will likely miss a significant amount of time.
Brooks is a local prospect from nearby Thomas County Central; he was a last-second addition to the 2026 recruiting class as he committed to Florida State on signing day. The surprise came after Brooks decommitted from Cal just a few weeks earlier, due to the firing of Justin Wilcox.
“This was the dream school before my recruitment started,” Brooks said at the time. “This was my dream school. They just weren’t really recruiting me. … now I’m going here.”
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound edge rusher had been one of the standouts of the 2026 offseason. A source close to the program compared his early performance in winter workouts to those of the Desir twins last offseason.
Worth noting: Former FSU edge rusher, now Mississippi State Bulldog, Jayson Jenkins sustained a similar injury last offseason and returned for the season-opener against Alabama.
