Former TCU, Prosper DE Ben Banogu taken No. 49 overall in NFL draft by Indianapolis Colts

For the first time since 2001, TCU football has had multiple defensive linemen selected in the NFL draft.

Former Horned Frogs defensive end Ben Banogu was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the 49th overall pick (second round) at the NFL draft Friday in Nashville, Tenn. His selection comes just one day after former teammate and fellow defensive end L.J. Collier was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the No. 29 overall pick in the draft.

With Banogu off the board, TCU has now produced multiple draft picks for a fifth straight spring. The Horned Frogs have had at least one player drafted every spring since 2009.
