Brooks has several P4 offers and is one of two athletes in our top 5 out of what is the Kindred Vikings hotbed of football prospects. The 6’5 205 pounder has absurd length that he uses persistently to his advantage against much smaller defensive backs and is a lethal weapon in the open field. The yards after contact and sound route-running ability are constantly on display when you watch Brooks stretch the field with all the athleticism he has at his disposal. The massive catch radius is one of the best ones the Dakotas has seen in a while at the wide receiver position in my eyes over the last several years. No doubt about it, that Brooks has the most secure spot as our ATH1 in the class.

Football Record: 10-1

-8 rushes, 54 yards, 2 TD’s. 41 receptions, 757 yards, 12 TD’s. 70 tackles, 7 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery.

-In hoops, he is one of the top players in ND, freak athlete, complete playmaker

Bakko and the #2 Vikes are undefeated on the year and they look unstoppable. As expected, Brooks is looking like a dude. Through 4 games, he has 13 catches for 285 yards, and 5 TD’s. On defense, Bakko has 21.5 tackles (15 solo), and 4 interceptions. Bakko is a major football recruit with a huge list of offers that continues to grow. In basketball, Bakko is an elite lead guard with a beautiful middy pull-up, and is one of the best dunkers in ND.

Brooks is our ATH1 in the 2027 class is one of two that hails from the newest members of 11AA, the Kindred Vikings. The Division I schools have made several visits to Kindred this winter to see Brooks, including NDSU, Kansas State, UND, Iowa State Northwestern to name just a few. In the live eval I got from Brooks in the 11A state championship game, I saw a prospect that has such a smooth football IQ that is clearly centered on both sides of the ball from my eyes. As a WR, he has super long strides and length with his catch radius in which if I were a D1 WR coach, I would watch that first clip on his sophomore tape often as his athleticism is outstanding. He is also not one you want to meet his athletic ability in the open field as one that has great field balance around the edges. His best fit positionally in my eyes points at wide receiver at the next-level, but I am surely surprised he doesn’t have his first D1 offer yet for football as there is plenty to like skillsets wise for Brooks at the next-level.
