I agree. By far one of my favorite Notre Dame teams growing up to watch. I always wondered what happened to Reggie Brooks. This guy was my favorite Notre Dame running back over Bettis and Watters because he was a hustled more than everyone on that team. It brings back memories just watching his runs. He had 1000+ yards his 1st yr in the NFL but what happened after that? So he did get injured???
Dear "genius" Charlie Weis - if you watch this video you will notice that most if not all these runs, the FULLBACK had a good to great block (not taking anything away from Reggie). The last two years, the fullback had disappeared from ND's offense and ND's rushing game has been horrible. Please - figure this one out!
Reggie is my coach right now... im a senior at Saint Joe high school in south bend. its across from notre dame. his sons both play in middle school and are apart of our feeder system. if u want to see Jordan taylor or myself go to my videos. our success is because of this man!
Tell your coach he is a Beast,and I loved watching him run through people like a truck. Ask him if he could go across the street and tell those running backs to "run" like he did. The ND fans would really appreciate it!!ps . he should of got the Heisman.
Reggie Brooks was 1 of the fastest running back in college football and the fastest prep sprinter in HS running a 10.3 100 meters, he was Reggie Bush before Reggie Bush.
I've seen many of the great running backs in Notre Dame history --- Latner, Hornung, Eddy, Rice, Brooks, Betis, Waters, and a host of others. Give me Reggie Brooks as the premier runner of them all. Without exageration, Brooks was a threat to go all the way every time he touched the ball. What a terrible shame he was injured as an NFL second year man. I would have loved to have seen the career numbers that he posted before he hung up his cleats. Thanks for the memories Reggie Brooks!
Reggie should have won the Heisman that year. Reggie rushed for over 1300 yards that year, in a backfiekld that included Jerome Bettis, not to mention averaging 8 yards a carry.

Sometimes when I'm down and need a little picking up, I slip in the tape of the USC game where Reggie ran all over them in their own house! GREAT!!! I love to hear Keith Jackson saying.....Reggie Brooks is tearin em up!!! God Bless you Reggie!
Hahaha believe it or not he's our Runningback coach at Saint Joseph's High School right next to Notre Dame in South Bend. he made our RB Jordan Taylor whos going D1 next yr. Coach Brooks is an awesome dude and for u fans wait till his sons come up one is a jacked lil bastard. squating 200 in the 7th grade
He lives in Indianapolis now. Alex (Reggie's daughter) was tellin me at Mass if we go to State Tony will go to that. we play for regional championship tonight.
