FORT WORTH, Texas — A TCU freshman lineman from South Oak Cliff High School has gone viral online for his size, standing 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 455 pounds.
TCU podcaster Stephen Simcox posted a screenshot of Brione "Big Bubba" Ramsey-Brooks' player bio on X, formerly known as Twitter, which has been viewed more than 8 million times and has everyone marveling at how large he is. Many on X have declared him their new favorite player of all-time.
His highlights on MaxPreps list him at 380 pounds, which would mean he'd have gained another 75 pounds. Regardless, this three-star offensive guard from SOC has captured the hearts and hype of the Internet.
Who is Brione "Big Bubba" Ramsey-Brooks?
Ramsey-Brooks played offensive guard for South Oak Cliff High School's back-to-back state championship teams in his junior and senior season. SOC was the first Dallas ISD school to win back-to-back state titles. The Golden Bears' title in 2021 was first for a DISD school since 1958.
Ramsey-Brooks was named Texas 5A first-team all-state by the Texas Sportswriters Association.
He was a three-star recruit with offers from programs like Arizona, Houston, Oregon, Kansas, Louisville and many more. In May 2022, however, he committed to play for the Horned Frogs.
Ramsey-Brooks shined at a Rivals camp in Dallas, showing out in one-on-one pass blocking drills at center and both guard positions. His highlights on YouTube are a sight to behold. It is unclear where Ramsey-Brooks lies on the team depth chart.
TCU opens its season at home in Fort Worth against Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes on Sept. 2.
