Who Are Aaron Brooks’ Siblings? Everything You Need to Know About the Wrestling Star’s Family

After a dominant NCAA wrestling career, Aaron Brooks earned gold in the U23 World Championships in 2023. Another gold in the US National Championships set him up for a US Olympic trials, which he aced to earn the opportunity to represent the Stars and Stripes in Paris. Brooks’ family played a massive role in his success, as a love for combat sports runs in the family.

The Penn State Wrestler has a sibling named Isaiah, and step-siblings named Jared, Jaden, and Kaiya Brooks. While not much is known about his step-siblings, the national champion wrestler’s elder sibling Isaiah shares his brother’s love for combat sports. However, unlike his four-time collegiate champion brother, Isaiah didn’t choose wrestling as a career. Instead, he decided to pursue a career in mixed martial arts.

Isaiah started his MMA career at an unnamed regional event in January earlier this year and emerged victorious via T-KO in the second round.

Although Isaiah chose a career in MMA, he started his combat sports journey along with Aaron Brooks in freestyle wrestling. The Brooks brothers showed promise and shone in tournaments together before Isaiah chose to train in MMA. Thankfully, modern MMA involves a lot of wrestling, so Aaron will always have Isaiah to turn to, for some friendly sibling competition.

One of only 7 men to sweep the 4 NCAA collegiate national titles, Aaron Brooks never shies away from expressing his love for his family. The 24-year-old Olympian’s siblings also revel in his achievements. “I love my brother,” Isaiah said in 2016 while discussing his brother’s success after both siblings won titles at the 29th annual Hub Cup. However, none of this would be possible without the support of their parents.

Aaron Brooks received unwavering support despite the circumstances

Aaron was born to John Brooks and Ranelle Boyd. However, the Brooks household fractured as the wrestling prodigy grew up. John and Ranelle separated, presumably during the wrestler’s formative years. They later got remarried to different partners, however, despite their separation, his parents continued to support Aaron’s wrestling.

John Brooks continues to work as a paraprofessional at South Hagerstown High School. His book once revealed that he never pushed his son to pursue wrestling. But, the moment Aaron showed his immense promise and desire to pursue the sport, he was there to support his son’s Olympic dreams. That dream will soon become a reality when the 24-year-old who beat Tokyo 2020 champion David Taylor twice, flies to Paris to represent the USA on the grandest stage.
