==College Career==
At [[Wikipedia:Florida State University|Florida State University]] (FSU), Brooks was a four-year letterman from 1991-1994 and was selected first-team All-American his senior year. Brooks was a key element on FSU's first-ever National Championship when the Seminoles defeated Nebraska 18–16 in the 1993 [[Wikipedia:Orange Bowl|Orange Bowl]]. The Seminoles are coached by legendary [[Wikipedia:Bobby Bowden|Bobby Bowden]]. FSU had suffered their only defeat of the season to a second-ranked Notre Dame team, but their path to the National Championship was cleared a week later when the Irish were upset at home by Boston College. While Brooks was at FSU, the Seminoles won the ACC Championship in 1992, 1993 and 1994.  Due to academic excellence, Brooks graduated early with a 3.8 GPA.
