  Sophomore linebacker Marcel Brooks entered the NCAA player transfer portal Friday, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Advocate, potentially removing one of LSU's most athletic players from the team. LSU expected Brooks, who showed flashes of potential last season, to contribute as a linebacker and help lead its pass rush. Brooks' decision was first reported by 247Sports. Reasons for the move are not yet known. Brooks had emerged as one of the most promising young players on LSU's defense, which switched to a 4-3 scheme under new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini. Last season, Brooks recorded eight tackles, 1½ tackles for loss and 1½ sacks.

All four of LSU's regular starting linebackers last year - K'Lavon Chaisson, Michael Divinity, Jacob Phillips and Patrick Queen - left for the NFL, making Brooks a possible successor after he moved to linebacker before spring practice. "As we all know, he's very fast," coach Ed Orgeron said in March, "and once he catches onto the scheme, I think he's going to be an excellent linebacker." Brooks, who's listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, arrived at LSU last year as a five-star recruit out of Marcus High in Flower Mound, Texas, where he played outside linebacker, safety and wide receiver. - Baton Rouge Advocate
