Defensive Tackle Is the Missing Piece for TCU's Recruiting Class

While TCU’s 2016 recruiting class is currently ranked higher than any other in school history, they still have one major need to address: defensive tackle.

The Horned Frogs’ class is No. 18 in the country, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. The group boasts multiple receivers, running backs, defensive ends and defensive backs. At defensive tackle, however, they have only one commit.

The Frogs need to add depth at the position. With the departure of senior Davion Pierson, the Frogs will have just five DTs on the roster for spring practice. Two of them—Aaron Curry and Tevin Lawson—have only one year of eligibility remaining.
