CLEVELAND, Ohio - Keith Brooks, a three-time first team all-conference selection at Ashland H.S., has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Cleveland State and play golf. Brooks will join the program for the 2011-12 academic year and have four years of eligibility remaining.

"We are very excited to welcome Keith to our program," head coach Steve Weir said. "He has a ton of potential and was a very accomplished player in high school who should come in and battle for a spot in our lineup immediately. He plays smart and limits his mistakes and I look forward to him being a key part of our program over the next four years."

Brooks capped his high school career by finishing 13th at the state tournament this fall.

Brooks, who qualified as his team's No. 1 player all four years, earned first team all-conference honors in each of his last three years. He also earned first team all-district honors the last two seasons after being selected to the all-district second team as a sophomore. He was also the conference player of the year as a junior.

During his final three years at Ashland H.S., Brooks helped lead the team to three conference and sectional championships, as well as two district titles.
