TCU’s new QB will have talented skill players around him | Fox Sports
The wide receiver unit might be the deepest on the team.
Whoever is at quarterback for TCU will be surrounded by talented skill players. Speedy receivers Jalen Reagor and KaVontae Turpin have both shown their big-play ability, while Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua may be the best running back duo in the Big 12.
The big concern for the Horned Frogs is replacing four starting offensive linemen, and tight ends that provided additional protection.
TCU’s defense also took a big hit when 6-4, 329-pound athletic tackle Ross Blacklock suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during non-contact work in fall practice. Blacklock and Corey Bethley stood out as freshmen on the defensive line last season.
Ohio State is sexy, sure. But, to me, it’s the matchup at Texas that signals the start of the season.
Sept. 22 vs. Texas: The Longhorns will be looking to stop a four-game losing streak against TCU when they meet in Austin on Sept. 22. TCU’s average margin of victory during that stretch is a whopping 30 points. If TCU can win its Big 12 opener, it paves the way for a potential 3-0 start in conference play before an Oct. 20 home game against Oklahoma.
This in-depth profile just makes me sad now that he’s hurt.
“We let Ross make his own decision. Never pushed him,” Jimmy said. “He did the whole thing himself. TCU was the first college camp he went to and the coaches were very, very excited about him.
“It’s been a great choice for him going to TCU. He loves the school, loves the campus. And I’ve got to thank the coaching staff, too, because they’re doing a great job and he’s becoming a gentleman and a man. Coach [Gary] Patterson and the rest of them are doing a phenomenal job because he’s kept his head on straight and been focused and doing everything we could ask.”

3. Durbin Feltman, RHP, Red Sox’s No. 12 prospect: I could see the 2018 third-rounder topping this list soon enough. Jim Callis’ pick to be the first member of the Draft class to get to the big leagues, Feltman is already in the Carolina League, has a 28/3 K/BB ratio and a .167 BAA in 16 innings.
