It is with a heavy heart that we report that LSU safety Grant Brooks has undergone surgery to remove a brain tumor. The news was reported by his family on social media, who shared that the surgery was successful and that Grant is now recovering.
Grant, a junior safety for the LSU Tigers, was diagnosed with the tumor in late March. He had been experiencing headaches and dizziness, and after undergoing an MRI, doctors found the tumor. Grant was immediately admitted to the hospital for further testing and treatment.
The surgery to remove the tumor was performed on April 5th at the Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. The procedure was successful and Grant is now in recovery. His family has asked for privacy during this difficult time, but they have expressed their gratitude for all of the support they have received from the LSU community.
This news is heartbreaking for the entire LSU family. Grant is an integral part of the team, and his presence will be missed on the field. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he will be able to return to the game he loves so much. Our thoughts are with Grant and his family during this difficult time.
