Running back Kyle Hicks won the team MVP award at the TCU football banquet, the first Horned Frogs running back to be so honored since LaDainian Tomlinson’s back-to-back awards in 1999 and 2000, the school announced Monday.
Hicks led TCU in rushing and receptions, a first for a TCU running back since Basil Mitchell in 1996. Hicks’ 1,042 rushing yards included a career-high 192 yards in a win at Baylor, and his 47 catches were the most by a TCU running back since John Oglesby caught the same number in 1993.
Linebacker Travin Howard earned the defensive MVP award after leading the Big 12 in tackles.
