LEGENDARY San Francisco 49ers star Chet Brooks has died at the age of 60.

Tributes are pouring in for the two-time Super Bowl champion after his death from cancer.

It has been announced by Texas A&M University that the ‘Wrecking Crew’ icon has died.

He was born as Terrance Donnell Brooks on January 1, 1966 in Midland, Texas.

Brooks played college football for the Aggies.

The safety coined the name the ‘Wrecking Crew’ for its intimidating defense,

He was named as a Second-team All-SWC player during the 1987 college football season.

Brooks was picked by the 49ers with the 303rd overall pick during the 11th round of the 1988 NFL Draft.

The former Texas A&M star played a key role for the 49ers as they won Super Bowl XXIII during his rookie campaign.

They defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16 at the then-named Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Brooks’ 49ers then went on to beat the Denver Broncos 55-10 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans a year later.

His alma mater has led the tributes for the former 49ers safety following his battle with cancer.

“Brooks, who came to Texas A&M from Carter High School in Dallas, was a four-year (1984-87) letterman in football,” a statement from Texas A&M read.

“An All-SWC and All-American safety, Brooks helped guide the Aggie football team to three-straight Southwest Conference Championships (1985-87) and three consecutive Cotton Bowl appearances.”

He was inducted into the Aggies’ Hall of Fame in 2011.

Brooks was forced to retire from football after suffering a career-ending injury against the Green Bay Packers on November 4, 1990.

Brooks went into coaching with the Football University.

FBU co-founder Anthony Williams has also shared kind words for the 49ers icon.

“RIP to my brotha in Christ Chet Brooks,” Williams said on X. “I know we just talked a few weeks ago but God says its time to come home.

“Please pray for his wife Nikki and his son Terrance during this time of bereavement. Me and the @FBUcamp family will miss you immensely!”
