00:00 How's it going everybody?

00:01 Randall Sweet, Allstudents.com.

00:03 Here to talk about OU's 2024 signing class.

00:06 Now, I'm gonna talk about Eugene Brooks.

00:08 Eugene Brooks is a four-star offensive lineman

00:11 from Sierra Canyon High School in California.

00:14 He's rated one of the top 150 players,

00:16 top five interior offensive linemen by 24/7 Sports.

00:21 And this is a guy listed at 6'4", 320 pounds,

00:24 who I think he spent most of his high school career

00:28 at tackle, but I think that once he gets to OU,

00:31 he'll make the transition into the interior.

00:33 Watching his huddle tape,

00:34 I did see some reps on the interior,

00:36 so it won't be completely foreign to him,

00:39 but again, I think that most of his snaps

00:41 have been at tackle, where he'll play, I think,

00:43 on the interior once he gets to college.

00:45 Now, Eugene Brooks, he does a lot of the things

00:48 that Bill Biedenboh likes out of his offensive linemen.

00:51 He's a guy who's really physical,

00:52 really nasty at the line of scrimmage,

00:54 but then he has the mobility and the willingness

00:57 to climb up to the second level,

00:59 to take on linebackers, safeties.

01:02 He plays with great effort.

01:04 He's running 30, 40 yards downfield,

01:06 blocking defensive backs if he has to.

01:08 He's, again, running the length of the field

01:11 to pave a way for the ball carrier,

01:12 a guy who doesn't give up on the play.

01:14 And again, he's got the size to really hold up

01:17 against SEC defensive linemen

01:20 at 6'4", 320 pounds coming into college.

01:23 And so that's what you need.

01:25 You need those guys who have the size already.

01:27 So they can just develop

01:29 in that strength and conditioning program,

01:31 and they can hold up against the biggest

01:33 and the best defensive linemen in the nation

01:35 once they get onto the field.
