TCU News: Boykin is an All-American

Football

TCU QB Trevone Boykin headlines ESPN All-America team | ESPN

It's always cool to see guys from TCU on lists like these.

The Horned Frogs' Trevone Boykin was the team's quarterback. USC's Cody Kessler, Mississippi State's Dak Prescott, Michigan State's Connor Cook and Ohio State's J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones all had claim to the spot. None, however, had a better 2014 season than Boykin, who topped all of the above in total offense while quarterbacking the Horned Frogs to a record of 12-1. Boykin also has nine other offensive starters returning around him. And in his second season operating the Doug Meacham/Sonny Cumbie spread offense, Boykin could be poised for an even bigger campaign this season.
