TCU football lost several players to the transfer portal after the program parted ways with longtime head coach Gary Patterson. Among those who left the team was starting running back and former five-star recruit Zach Evans, who totaled over 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns over two seasons before electing to continue his career with Ole Miss.
With new head coach Sonny Dykes now leading the program, TCU will look for a group of returning players and a duo of transfers to solidify the running back position this fall. The Horned Frog backs will be coached by Anthony Jones, whose arrival this offseason came after Ra’Shaad Samples, who followed Dykes from SMU and was expected to make a significant impact as a recruiter, left the team in March to work for the Los Angeles Rams.
