"Jason has spent time with the Ravens organization and understands first-hand the culture of our team," Harbaugh stated. "His late father, Clarence – who is one of the best coaches I've had the opportunity to be around – was a tremendous influence on his son in countless ways. We are excited to welcome Jason back to our coaching staff."
In 2019, Brooks' defensive line unit helped set a new CSU single-season sack record (35), while also posting the conference's sixth-most tackles for loss (95) en route to three Buccaneers defenders earning first-team All-Big South honors. During his time leading the defensive backs and special teams unit at FIU, Brooks helped the Panthers' secondary improve from 11th to third in the conference in total defense from 2013-14. Also, in 2014, his secondary set a school record for interceptions returned for touchdowns (five) and ranked second nationally in defensive touchdowns (six).
