Brian Kelly gives latest update on Greg Brooks Jr.
Last season, the LSU football team was hit with the news that one of their leaders had a bigger war he was fighting. Greg Brooks Jr. was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.
In October, Brooks underwent brain surgery while players and coaches alike shared tributes to him online and encouraged him to keep pushing forward through the tough times. It has been five months since his surgery and there have not been a lot of updates.
On Saturday, Brian Kelly was able to provide us with the latest update on Brooks’ health and where he was at in his journey.
“We haven’t gotten much information over the last month because of where he is,” Kelly said, per On3. “We know he’s in intensive daily rehabilitation. He’s up, walking, doing all those things. Doing all of the occupational rehabilitation. It’s just a slow process. But everything is coming back. It’s just a slow, slow process.”
The process is slow but we are all hoping and praying that Brooks Jr. will come out strong on the other side of this trial.
