Thursday was a big day for 2026 Downey (Calif.) St. Pius X-St. Matthias defensive tackle Malik Brooks.
First, he attended UCLA’s practice and left with an offer. Six hours later, Alabama was in contact and extended an offer.
“It was a shocking experience, something I never thought would happen in another lifetime even. But all glory to God and these blessings,” Brooks told Bruin Blitz on Friday about the whirlwind day.
