Daymond The Body Brooks (born October 24, 2015) is an American football wide receiver for the Minnesota Grey Ducks of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Brooks was born in Beaumont, Texas. His father, Quincy, was a highly-touted quarterback in high school. Graded as a 5-star recruit, the elder Brooks had the best colleges in the country eager to have him sign with their programs. What could have been an incredible college career never materialized, however. Quincy Brooks was slated to be the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Washington State when he collapsed on the practice field. He was diagnosed with an aneurysm and told by doctors he would never play football again. Brooks' mother was an Olympic medalist, winning a silver medal for the women's'200m dash in the 2008 Summer Olympics. The son of two premiere athletes, Brooks attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. He was a stellar quarterback in a long line of Westlake quarterbacks, including Drew Brees and Nick Foles. He was a 3-time state champion, 4-time letterman, and set multiple school and state records during his high school career.

College career

Just like his father, Brooks was heavily pursued and recruited by quality college programs. A 4-star recruit, he accepted a scholarship from Washington State University. While he hoped to finish what his father could not, Brooks started his true freshman season as the third-string quarterback on the Cougars' roster. He impressed coaches with his athletic ability in practice, however. In the summer leading up to his sophomore season, Coach Les Grossman approached Brooks with an idea. The starting quarterback position was firmly held down by All-American Hog Nelsen, and Brooks knew the route trees and playbook well. Coach Grossman believed that with Brooks' knowledge of the offense and his athletic ability, he could carve out a starting position for himself out wide. The gamble paid off, and in his first year at wide receiver, Brooks led the team in catches and touchdowns. In his junior year, Brooks excelled even further, earning All-American and Pac-14 Player of the Year honors. Brooks' senior season was one for the ages. He set NCAA single-season records for catches, yards, and touchdowns. He would win the Fred Biletnikoff Award and place third in Heisman voting. His team enjoyed success as well, winning the 2035 Rose Bowl. After graduating with honors with a degree in psychology, Brooks declared for the 2036 DSFL Draft.
