Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Tuesday marked the start of the 2023 ACC Media Days and Georgia Tech was one of the first four teams taking the stage today. Yellow Jackets safety LaMiles Brooks was one of the players selected to attend this year. Brooks is one of the leaders of the defense this season and is one of the top safeties in the ACC.

Here is everything from Brooks today at ACC Media Days.

1. In regard to the new defensive leadership

"Leadership-wise I would say myself, D'Quan Douse, and Sylvain here. We've all kind of already been leaders on the team in a sense, but now that Ace and Charlie are gone, we're here to continue to push the message that they pushed. Obviously from the head man himself. The new additions, two linebackers, Andre and Braelen. Excited to see how they come in and play in the fall. You know, they had a good spring, been preparing well in the summer, and it will be a show this fall."

2. In regard to the culture and identity of Georgia Tech...

"From a team perspective, the culture that I feel that we're trying to create is a culture of winning obviously and doing all the little things right. The little things add up, whether positively or negatively. So I would say a culture of doing the small things right. Then from a fan base standpoint, just the expectation of winning, like Coach said. Not waiting for bad things to happen. As players we shouldn't do that. As coaches we shouldn't do that. As fans we shouldn't do that as well."

3. In regard to the transition of coaches and having DB's coach Travares Tillman back on the staff...

"It's been great. Myself as well as all my teammates have maximum trust in both of them. For Coach Tillman it was nice having him last year. He has been in our shoes, Georgia Tech grad, played in the NFL. He has played where all of us want to play. So just taking small gems from him, the different techniques he teaches us and allows us to go out there and perform has been amazing. And for Coach Thacker, I don't think he gets enough love. I think he is a very underrated defensive coordinator in college football. He rarely calls bad games, if any at all, to be honest. Knowing that I have both of them back who fully support me as well as my defensive teammates is great."

4. In regard to the difference with the team this year vs. last year...

"I would say the fun we're having. We enjoy being around each other. I think the bonds and the relationships that we've created throughout spring and the summer will positively affect us going into the fall. Being able to look to our left and right and say that we know the man next to us, it will allow you to go out and feel the need to compete for the man next to you as well as, once again, just honing in on the little things. I think once we excel in those, it will make substantial changes."
