Did you know that new Texans wide receiver Jalen Walthall (@JalenWalthall) from @UIWFootball is the one who invented the headstand celebration or “The Walt” as seen by Amon-ra St. Brown & Drake London? 🔥

Elijah Brooks played the last two years for us at HCU and is available in the portal. He’s the real deal:
• Two-year starter who led our team in scoring (12.3 PPG), finished second in rebounding (4.5 RPG), and led in steals (1.5 SPG) this season.
• Switchable defender who can guard 1-4 effectively.
• 6’4” PG (6’3” without shoes, 6’4” with shoes. We measure).
• American Conference level athlete — plays downhill, explosive vertical athlete with high-level strength and burst.
• Extremely high basketball IQ — Elijah initiated our offense from the point, which included seven formations and over 50 sets/variations.
• Developed into an elite pick-and-roll player — rarely missed a pocket pass or read. Float game established.
• Barkley game (watch the 11/27/24 game vs. NAU for the full Barkley bag including 29 PTS on 13-19 FG). Most teams run a double at him and are forced to play in rotation.
• Elite cutter off the ball
• Game-changer in transition with his speed and vision
• Career 189/381 (.496 FG%) — all at the NCAA Division I level
• Broke his hand this season, but it’s fully healed with no restrictions. He’s been working out daily in our gym and is 100% ready to go. There will be no issue with the medical hardship as we have x-rays, documents, and info from doctors, specialists and surgeons. He appeared in 8 game, all in the first semester.
Call me with any questions. I’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Note: Last season we had two high level players at HCU enter the portal for enhanced revenue opportunities: Julian Mackey (to FIU) and Bryson Dawkins (to YSU). Both were double-figure scorers who absolutely crushed it at their next school. Elijah is cut from the same cloth and will do the same for you.
Hit me up!
