PHILLIP BROOKS NEWS

Three touches at Kansas Brooks tallied one reception (on four targets) for nine yards during Saturday's 31-27 victory versus Kansas.

Impact Brooks had a quiet performance against the in-state rival. The four targets were a season-low for the Wildcats' number one receiver. Look for him to have a much better performance against Iowa State in the team's regular season finale next week.

Strong outing against Houston Brooks gathered in all five targets for 83 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-0 win versus Houston.

Impact Brooks had his best game during the conference slate with his third touchdown reception of the season. He's been easily Kansas State's most consistent receiver, however, that does provide limited upside as they revolve their offense around the run-game. Going up against a tough Texas defense next week, Brooks has sneaky potential as it could turn out to be a highly competitive game.

Eight targets in win over TCU Brooks accrued three catches (on eight targets) for 31 yards while also rushing for 10 yards during Saturday's 41-3 win against TCU.

Impact Brooks has seen at least five targets in every game this year. That's an encouraging sign considering that Kansas State has started to utilize two different quarterbacks in a single game over the last few games. Brooks' upside remains limited due to both of those quarterbacks being run-first options. Kansas State will play Houston next week.

TD reception against Texas Tech Brooked pulled down five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown while also notching six rushing yards in Saturday's 37-28 win over Texas Tech.

Impact Brooks was able to add his first touchdown reception of the season. He's starting to gain more chemistry with quarterback Adrian Martinez, but that's not saying a lot as Kansas State is a run-first team. Martinez and Deuce Vaughn combined for 35 carries for 241 yards and three touchdowns against the Red Raiders. Kansas State will play at Iowa State next week.

Seven grabs at Oklahoma Brooks hauled in seven catches for 56 yards in Saturday's 41-34 win at Oklahoma.

Impact Brooks was able to grab a season-high seven catches, however, teammate Malik Knowles has been Adrian Martinez's favorite target this season. Knowles was able to record the Wildcats' only TD reception in the game as the dual-threat quarterback racked up four rushing scores. Kansas State will play Texas Tech next week.

Three catches vs. Stanford Brooks hauled in three catches for 81 yards in Saturday's 24-7 win over Stanford.

Impact Brooks was the lead receiver for Kansas State, however, that's not saying a lot as they had just 144 receiving yards compared to 200 rushing yards on the day. It's likely that the Wildcats continue to lean on their run game with QB Skyler Thompson who has a knack for tucking the ball away and running himself. Kansas State will host Southern Illinois next week.
