Roanoke (Ala.) Handley five-star defensive end Dylan Brooks , one of the top-ranked prospects in the 2021 recruiting class, has trimmed his list of schools.

The 6-foot-5, 206-pound pass rusher took to Twitter on Saturday to reveal an updated list of the top 15 schools involved in his recruitment, including many of the top programs around the country.

“First off, I want to thank GOD for giving me this opportunity, I also want to thank my Family, Coaches, and teammates,” he wrote in the tweet. “But for right now these are the 15 schools that I want to focus my attention towards in my recruiting process moving forward.”

The schools that made the cut for the 6-foot-5, 225-pound pass rusher are as follows (in alphabetical order): Alabama (3), Auburn (2), Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Mississippi State, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee (2), Texas and Texas A&M.

It’s been a busy spring for Brooks, who has visited several of the schools on that list over the past few months. Both Alabama and Georgia Tech have hosted him for multiple visits in 2019, while he’s also made trips to Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Mississippi State and Tennessee.

Brooks is ranked as the nation’s No. 24 overall prospect and No. 2 weak-side defensive end in the 2021 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s also the second-ranked player in Alabama.

As a sophomore at Handley, he amassed 55 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one pass breakup and a fumble recovery. He had 27 tackles, nine sacks and one pass breakup in 10 games as a freshman.

According to his 247Sports Scouting Report, Brooks projects as a potential early round NFL Draft pick, drawing comparison to Denver Broncos defensive end Bradley Chubb. Here’s the full evaluation from 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Charles Power:

“Has a tall, rangy build with long arms. Has room to fill out in excess of 250 pounds over time as he continues to grow and eventually gets into a college level strength and conditioning program. Uses a quick first step off the snap to blow by over-matched offensive tackles along with closing speed to track down quarterbacks and ball carriers in pursuit. Shows physicality at the point of attack and finishes plays in the backfield with authority. Has a natural pass rushing skill set with dip and bend around the edge. Is also strong against the run. Doesn't face the strongest level of competition at his high school. Still filling out physically and progressing from a technical standpoint but shows a high upside, one that could ultimately project as a multi-year starter at the Power 5 level and high-round NFL Draft pick.”

Auburn holds the lone prediction for Brooks in the 247Sports Crystal Ball.
