The 5-foot-9, 193-pounder was impactful as a freshman with 32 receptions for 441 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his scores came in the  opening round of Alabama’s College Football Playoff matchup against Oklahoma. He had a team-high 79 yards receiving on five catches, while his touchdowns came on plays of 10 and 30 yards to push the Tide to a 34-24 comeback victory. Brooks’ speed and routes require attention from a cornerback and a safety.

He finished second on the team with 13.8 yards per catch and converted 19 first downs or touchdowns across his receptions.

The sophomore is looking forward to building off his production, yet he also will create more for Williams.

Scott, a Pennsylvania native, is more compact in his role.

The redshirt sophomore resembles former Alabama wide receiver, ArDarius Stewart.

Scott catches passes in the flat, executes numerous routes well, takes hand-offs out of the backfield on end arounds, and operates the jet sweep/pop pass game too.

He is also an unselfish blocker, springing teammates to big plays on the edge. The 6-foot, 198-pounder played in 15 games – including three starts – totaling 11 catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

Scott and Brooks can operate on the outside, putting Coleman-Williams in the slot.

“You can see them sprint down the field going 1,000 miles per hour,” Williams said. 

“And, I’m like ‘appreciate the clearance, I’m open.’”

He wants more chances to say I’m open and take advantage of them. Brooks and Scott anticipate giving that to Williams, while creating moments for themselves.
