Report: Former Garfield High star J’Raan Brooks leaving USC and transferring to Washington

Former Garfield High standout J’Raan Brooks, who flirted with the Huskies before signing with USC last year, is transferring to Washington, per a report from Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports. The 20-year-old Brooks is a native of Newport, R.I., and returning to Seattle makes sense considering Washington will likely need help on the front line in 2020-21. Conceivably, Brooks would compete for a starting spot as a redshirt sophomore in 2020 with Hameir Wright, Bryan Penn-Johnson and Nate Roberts.
Brooks, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound freshman forward, would likely have to sit out the 2019-20 season and would have three years of eligibility remaining. He could also apply for a waiver to play immediately next season.
In 28 games last season, Brooks averaged 2.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 8.2 minutes with the Trojans. He shot 44.2 percent from the field and 35.3 percent (6 of 17) on three-pointers.
At Garfield, Brooks averaged 15.0 points and 11 rebounds as a senior during the 2017-18 season. He was voted first-team All-Metro and Co-Defensive Player of the Year, as well as being named to the Class 3A First Team.
Brooks was ranked No. 76 nationally by Rivals, No. 83 by 247 Sports and No. 84 on ESPN’s top 100 list in 2018.
