by Staff Reporter

June 26, 202082 Comments

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports

LSU outside linebacker Marcel Brooks has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, according to Shea Dixon with 247 Sports.

Brooks, a sophomore from Ft. Worth, Texas, played in 11 games last year and recorded eight tackles and 1.5 sacks.

quote:
On Friday, sophomore linebacker Marcel Brooks put his name into the transfer portal and can now be contacted by other college programs, multiple sources confirmed to the Geaux247 staff. Sources also confirmed that Brooks had a conversation with LSU's staff on Friday morning before making his decision to enter the portal.

A player is allowed to enter his name into the transfer portal and land at another college program, or they may pull their name out and remain at their current four-year institution.

When I hear somebody from LSU has entered the transfer portal, I usually say, “Who is that?” This one bothers me. A lot. I thought this kid was on his way to a bright future here. All-SEC was a lock. All America was a real possibility. Marcel, I really question your advisors. You belong at LSU.

Why? You know more than the kid does?

Maybe he'll be one of those in the portal, back out of the portal guys.

Kajuntiger86•68 months

Per shea dixon, its not about position switch, hes dealing with some personal issues and wants to move move back home. His family could be going through some things. He wants to be closer to his mom. TCU in play

Big Sway•68 months

Can't blame a young man for that. Hopefully this works out best for everyone.

cattus•68 months

Marcel..what are you doing???

Bigpoppat•68 months

Didn't see this one coming

LSU82Cajun•68 months

Maybe he just doesn’t like Pellini’s style of coaching. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up at Baylor.

Ripley•68 months

The one player I’ve been most excited about seeing develop and just in general. This sucks arse.

tigerpawl•68 months

I was looking forward to him being a holy terror this year. Hate to see him go.

Captain Lafitte•68 months

Man, I was watching the National Championship last night on the DVR and watched him flush Trevor Lawrence from the middle and couldn't wait to see him this coming season. What the heck?

ahall808•68 months

Baylor...

RockChalkTiger•68 months

So Aranda is recruiting LSU now? Yet another reason to hate that guy!

lsugerberbaby•68 months

Whoa...did not see this coming at all. Like others - was really looking forward to seeing him play a larger role. Impact player for sure. Thought he could have been an Isaiah Simmons type player for us. Good luck, Marcel.

Bad decision on his part.

zoom•68 months

How does this make sense?

FlowMaster•68 months

Who can blame the guy? He’s a safety/olb who’s being asked to move to mlb in a 4-3 and take on guards / centers. Collateral damage of defensive philosophy change. Best wishes at Baylor.

SulphursFinest•68 months

He had a hell of a lot of sacks and QB rushes for someone who is in the wrong position.

CapitolB•68 months

When I heard Coach O in a recent interview say that they are moving Brooks to Mike LB I thought to myself, 'really?'

Tigerpride18•68 months

He had 1.5 sacks and 8 tackles last year

Hate to lose him.

Walt OReilly•68 months

Damn. Wtf

BassMan63•68 months

You feel for these young men when they are far from home and issues come up. I can relate and if this helps him then so be it. God bless and best wishes. Thank you for the hard work and effort you put out as a Tiger. Always LSU.

demtigers73•68 months

Didn’t want to play LB wanted to play Safety. You don’t always get what you want, good luck to him in the future.

LSU82Cajun•68 months

A critical loss

KennabraTiger•68 months

frick

keitron1•68 months

ok just did a little research; we can thank dave aranda for this transfer....aranda has been steady recruiting marcel since before he left LSU....i know for certain aranda has also been recruiting that 5 star LB LSU commit for 2021 out of cali, and supposedly there are others he has been recruiting as well....i find this highly disturbing from an ethical standpoint. Here's to hoping the NCAA cracks down on Aranda's underhanded and backdoor tactics to poach LSU players and coaches....

rob62•68 months

Well if Aranda is recruiting LSU players who are enrolled that is a serious recruiting violation. I can't see Orgeron putting up with that.

JOHNN•68 months

Recruiting current players is one thing but recruiting kids that arent enrolled is definitely NOT against the rules. Nothing is finalized until the ink dries and the fax goes through and is accepted.

charlestonchief•68 months

He wants me to play safety, he stated that early in the offseason.

Tigermite•68 months

Are u any good at safety?

charlestonchief•68 months

Ha, and no !

PensaTigers•68 months

Good luck beating out our current safety's.
