LSU football player Greg Brooks Jr. faces long recovery after surgery for rare brain cancer

LSU safety Greg Brooks Jr. was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer called medulloblastoma.
He underwent successful surgery to remove a brain tumor but faces months of rehab due to impacts on his speech and communication.
There is no evidence the cancer has spread beyond the tumor that was removed.
Brooks' family and the LSU community have rallied around him, launching a fund to help with medical expenses.
Brooks played his first season with LSU in 2022 after transferring from Arkansas and will now focus on his health and recovery.
