AUSTIN (KXAN) — Former Manor Mustang Tahj Brooks has had an interesting run over the last nine months.
He became the all-time leading rusher in Texas Tech program history and was drafted 193rd overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. However, nothing beats giving back to his “home.”

“Putting a smile on a kids face, it does a lot for me,” Brooks said. “The Lord blessed me with a lot of talent and blessed me with a face to be inspirational.”
Saturday morning, Brooks hosted his third annual football camp at Manor High School for the youth in Central Texas. The best part? It was free for children grades 5-12.
“Just being here and still going just with the NFL and grinding,” the NFL rookie said. “When I kick back on the couch I know that I put on a great camp not just for myself but for my community as a whole because I really love this community. Manor, Texas is home for me, and I’m glad I’m able to do it.”
