LSU coach Brian Kelly is rebutting claims made on national television that he showed minimal interest in Greg Brooks Jr.’s well-being after the defensive back’s football career was cut short by emergency surgery to remove a brain tumor.

LSU coach Brian Kelly called allegations that he abandoned former player Greg Brooks Jr. after he had surgery to remove a brain tumor in September 2023 "factually incorrect."

Brooks Jr.'s family says Kelly and his staff have not reached out since the former LSU captain underwent emergency surgery to remove a brain tumor in October 2023
