Brooks earned numerous honors during the 2018 season, which included three All-America awards and Google Cloud Academic All-America honors as well as being selected as the Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the Great Lakes Valley Conference.  Brooks landed his All-America awards at the linebacker position from D2Football.com, Division II Collegiate Commissioners Association and from Dan Hansen's Football magazine, while the Academic All-America was the second he received during his career.

During the past season, Brooks – a first-team All-GLVC selection -- finished with 87 tackles with an S&T single-season record 22 of them for a loss and 11 quarterback sacks.  Brooks ranked seventh in NCAA Division II in tackles for a loss and was 20^th in quarterback sacks as he became the second player in school history with at least 20 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 10 sacks in the same season.
