Louisiana State University Tigers football star Greg Brooks Jr. underwent an emergency surgery on Wednesday, September 20th to remove a brain tumor. After being diagnosed last week with the large tumor, doctors successfully performed the procedure to remove it and the family is awaiting biopsy results.
The family released a statement thanking the medical staff and the Louisiana, Arkansas, and national sports communities for their support and outpouring of love. They asked that everyone continues to keep their family in their thoughts and prayers as they fight this battle.
The MRI that revealed the tumor was ordered after Brooks experienced dizziness and vertigo during the early parts of the season. Coach Brian Kelly said, “Finally, we said that enough’s enough and we got an MRI and that’s when the tumor was located. The vertigo was just a symptom of what was obviously a larger issue.”
Brooks was elected as one of LSU football’s captains this year by his teammates. His courage and resilience through this difficult time has endeared him to everyone. Coach Kelly noted that Brooks has made it “pretty clear” that he intends to return to the Tigers once he is cleared for play.
The Louisiana sports community is sending its best wishes to Greg Brooks Jr. and his family, and hoping for a speedy recovery.
