GMA - Greg Brooks Jr., a former safety for the Louisiana State University Tigers football team, is speaking out to share advice for young athletes after undergoing a lifechanging brain surgery and brain tumor diagnosis."I just want young athletes in the same spot I was, if something is hurting, tell them," Brooks Jr. said in an interview with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan that aired Monday on "GMA," referring to coaches and school officials. "And if they don't do anything about it, go get your second opinion. Because if I would have known that, I wouldn't be the way I am right now."
Brooks Jr., now 23, was a newly selected team caption for LSU in August 2023 when he said he began experiencing symptoms including nausea, dizziness and headaches during football practice.
The next month, in September, the Louisiana native was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent brain surgery.
In a lawsuit filed in August 2024 in Louisiana, Brooks Jr. alleged negligence by both LSU and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, where he underwent brain surgery.
