Collins High School linebacker Michael Brooks, one of the top senior defensive football players in the state of Kentucky this past season, has decided on a college.

Brooks, a 6-foot, 215-pound first-team Courier-Journal All-State selection, is headed to Lindsey Wilson College.

Brooks had 214 tackles, including 98 solos and 27 for losses, and had several games with 20-plus tackles including 27 (15 solos) in a loss to Class 6-A Eastern.

Brooks helped Collins, a second-year school, to a 22-5 record in his final two seasons. He had 95 tackles at Shelby County.

As a junior, Brooks had 136 total tackles, including 51 solos and 16 for losses. He’s also collected five interceptions and four fumbles.

Brooks was joined in signing with Lindsey Wilson by Shelby County senior Taylor Lay. Collins seniors Jalen Spalding and Joseph Fawns also signed with Lindsey Wilson earlier in the month.
