BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – LSU head football coach Brian Kelly says he and his program love former defensive back Greg Brooks Jr., but Kelly likewise took issue by the way he was portrayed in a recent Good Morning America report on Brooks.
In the piece, Kelly was said to be disengaged and disinterested in Brooks since a very serious and traumatic brain surgery he underwent in September of 2023.
Kelly adamantly refuted those claims and took issue with his character and compassion being drawn into question.
Kelly led off his press conference Wednesday with a statement over three minutes long addressing Brooks Jr. and the national piece.
The press conference was initially scheduled to discuss LSU’’s transfer portal signees and the Tigers new staff members.
