North Oconee linebacker Khamari Brooks, an AJC Super 11 pick committed to Georgia, is out for the season because of a fractured hip, the player announced Monday evening on X (formerly Twitter).
“Loved the journey these past 4 years,” Brooks posted. “Though my season is cut short, I cant (sic) do anything but Thank God for giving me the opportunity to play this sport I love and to play this sport in college.”
Brooks posted that he will be out for three months but will not need surgery.
