Countdown to Kickoff 2024: 57 Days
From the brink of no FBS offers out of the transfer portal to the National Championship game, linebacker Johnny Hodges was a perfect match with the new Sonny Dykes era for the Horned Frogs. After a pair of average seasons at the Naval Academy after being an unranked no-star prospect in the class of 2019, Hodges hit the transfer portal ahead of the 2022 season, where he famously found little interest before TCU defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie and Dykes, both of whom coached against Hodges while he was at Navy, were made aware of his portal presence. The Frogs offered and would make history with Hodges as the new LB would go on to lead TCU in tackles for the Horned Frogs’ undefeated regular season and College Football Playoff, earning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and 2nd Team All-Big 12 honors with 87 total tackles (9.5 for loss) and two sacks.
Big 12 Snapshot: TCU Horned Frogs
Good morning. I’m introducing a new series intended to take a look at each team in the new Big 12. I’m not sure how many I’ll get done each week, but the only way for me to really know about these teams is to actually do the research so I can be relatively informed when the season hits. So I spent time doing the research this weekend. There are links to everything below so if there isn’t a link, then I didn’t write it, but I always link back to the originator of the content. I wanted to take a quick look at the team: get a feel for the best players; look into their portal class consisted and how they ranked overall; a look at the 2024 recruiting class; and ending on the graphic from Sharp College Football.
