TCU football has emerged as possible landing spot for Texas A&M transfer
TCU football has emerged as a contender for Texas A&M transfer Shadrach Banks, sources told the Star-Telegram.
Banks, a four-star prospect in the 2021 class out of Houston North Shore, has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal after less than a semester on A&M’s campus.
Banks worked with the wide receivers in his short time with the Aggies. If he joins the Frogs, he’s expected to make a position change to linebacker.
A source described TCU as “liking its chances” in landing Banks. It’s unknown when Banks will make an official decision. He’ll draw plenty of interest in the transfer market as he was rated by 247Sports as the No. 18 wide receiver in the country coming out of high school.
Banks had offers from 32 schools, including Alabama, Auburn, Texas and TCU.
TCU is considered a favorite with a couple North Shore products already on its roster in junior cornerback Kee’yon Stewart and sophomore running back Zach Evans. Stewart has hinted at the possibility of Banks joining the Frogs, sharing a video on social media of Banks playing on offense but writing: “That’s just what my boy can do on O wait till you see him on D.”
TCU has completed its spring season. It opens the 2021 season against Duquesne on Sept. 4 at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
