Fresh off the success of Off Campus <\/i>season 1, Jalen Thomas Brooks <\/b>is hopeful that one of his fellow members of The Pitt <\/i>night shift will hit the rink down the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s see, as a rival head coach, I\u2019m going to say Shawn Hatosy<\/b>,\u201d Brooks, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly <\/i>on Monday, May 11, at the Amazon Upfronts in New York City. \u201cThat would be insane in, like, he\u2019s intense and scary, but a rival evil head coach as Shawn Hatosy? That\u2019s hot, that\u2019s dope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hatosy, 50, portrays attending Dr. Abbot on HBO Max\u2019s The Pitt<\/i>, on which Brooks appears as a nurse during the same night shift. In addition to his work on the acclaimed medical drama, Brooks scored a role as collegiate hockey player John Tucker in Off Campus.<\/i><\/p>\n

Prime Video\u2019s Off Campus <\/i>was adapted from Elle Kennedy<\/b>\u2019s bestselling book series<\/a> about four college-aged hockey players on the fictional Briar University team as they search for love on campus. Season 1 of the TV series took inspiration from The Deal<\/i>, in which captain Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli<\/b>) meets Hannah Wells (Ella Bright<\/b>).<\/p>\n

Tucker doesn\u2019t take the lead<\/span><\/a> until the fourth and final book, The Goal. <\/i>(Logan, played by Antonio Cipriano<\/b>, is the star of The Mistake<\/i>, while Stephen Kalyn<\/b>\u2019s Dean is central to The Score.<\/i>)<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed my time of sitting back and watching Belmont lead by example,\u201d Brooks told Us. <\/i>\u201cWhat I\u2019ve been doing this first season, in a sense, is just seeing how people step into leadership positions, and, most importantly, we had a conversation, as the guys in the show, [about] how to treat the crew, the cast, leading by example.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI get the privilege of seeing other people take all the pressure. I don\u2019t have to carry as much weight, so I can just learn and absorb, [which is] something I\u2019ve been able to do my whole career and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
