Arizona State running back DeCarlos Brooks makes some mean cuts on the field. He also does in a barber shop.

Brooks regularly cuts his teammates’ hair – as well as Kenny Dillinghma’s – and is using his platform to give back. On Sunday, he is partnered with the AZ Barber Academy in Tempe to give free haircuts to kids as the school year quickly approaches.

“It means everything to me, giving back to my community, giving back to my people,” Brooks said. “I know how it felt when I was a kid and I got a haircut, so I know when these kids get a haircut, they’ll feel the same way.”

Last year’s inaugural event drew about 40 people, and Brooks hopes to double that number this number. He said fellow teammates and coaches will also be there to show their support.
