COLUMBIA, Mo. (KBTX) - For as long as head coach Mike Elko has been back at Texas A&M, safety Dalton Brooks has boasted of his accomplishments as a running back at Shiner High School, where he was a two-way player for the Comanches.

Elko, in an effort to jokingly wind up his defensive back, would say he didn’t believe him.

After Saturday’s No. 3 Texas A&M’s 38-17 win over No. 22 Missouri, Elko was forced to concede. Between a fumble recovery run at the end of the first half and a fake punt rush in the second half, Brooks racked up 76 total yards on the ground which led to an important 10 Aggie points in Memorial Stadium.

“I guess today I’ve probably got to to tell him I believe him… So, he’s a two way player I guess now,” Elko said with a grin.
