From Brahma to Longhorn: Jonathon Brooks remains a bell cow
Texas Longhorn running back Jonathon Brooks made his name as a high school star at Hallettsville High School where he dominated Class 3A and became Mr. Texas Football
The people least surprised about Texas running back Jonathon Brooks’ success over the last month of the college football season are the high school head coaches he faced en route to an historic 2020 campaign that ended in the Class 3A Division I state title game.
Brooks ran for a staggering 3,530 yards – the seventh-most all-time in a single season in Texas high school football – and 62 touchdowns as a senior at Hallettsville High School in 2020. His 70 total touchdowns that season ranks second in Texas high school history behind Aledo’s Johnathan Gray in 2011. Brooks was named Mr. Texas Football for the 2020 season.
