Brooks was named the starter for his senior year at Kansas. He and James Otero combined for the nation's #2 rushing attack, but Brooks's efficient passing was a critical element of that team as well. He led the Big 12 with a 68.0% completion percentage, 8.15 yards per pass attempt, and 6.9 yards per carry. Kansas won the 2014 Big 12 Championship Game over Baylor, 35-6. They would finish the season 12-2 and rank #8 in the country.
