Nearly two months after he took off his shoulder pads for the final time for Maryland football on Nov. 30, safety Antoine Brooks Jr. will be suiting up with a Terp helmet once more.
Brooks will be a participant in the 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl on Jan. 29, the bowl committee announced Saturday.
The game takes place in Mobile, Alabama, and is essentially an all-star game for the graduating class. Players are split in two separate teams — the North and the South — that will be coached by the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions respective coaching staffs, the senior bowl announced Jan. 2.
Leading up to the game, players are put through numerous individual and team drills, giving them the opportunity to prove their skills against other top-notch seniors to various NFL scouts and teams.
Brooks, who was one of six Maryland players who were named to the bowl’s watch list in August, is currently the only Terp involved in the bowl but is one of 17 Big Ten players, including Michigan’s Shea Patterson and Ohio State’s KJ Hill.

Last year, former Terps Darnell Savage and Byron Cowart participated in the senior bowl. Savage, who is currently playing with the Green Bay Packers in the NFL playoffs, turned heads last year and was one of four players to win Defensive Practice Player of the Week honors.
Brooks was one of Maryland’s best players this past season, leading All-Big Ten honors. He recorded a team-high 87 tackles, including 69 solo, five pass breakups and one interception.
