TCU football picks up big-time commitments from 4-star receiver, 3-star running back
TCU coach Gary Patterson picked up two big-time commitments Thursday from 3-star running back Darwin Barlow and 4-star wide receiver Tamauzia Brown of Newton High School.
Barlow, a 5-foot-11, 195-pounder, who announced his verbal pledge via Twitter, chose the Frogs over offers from Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, Baylor, Utah, Houston, Texas Tech, LSU, SMU, Nebraska and Louisville, among others.
Barlow is a highly-touted running back, ranking No. 28 in the nation by 247Sports, and the No. 2 RB in Texas.
Barlow rushed for 2,246 yards and 38 touchdowns as a junior last season, helping Newton win the Class 3A, Division II state championship.
Barlow was the 17th commitment for TCU in the 2019 class, and the second running back along with Daimarqua Foster.
At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, Brown is rated as the No. 33 player in the state of Texas and the No. 253 player overall, according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings.
Along with TCU, Brown has offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and more.
He’s racked up 69 catches for 1,297 yards and 18 touchdowns in three seasons with Newton and was named the District 10-3A-II Offensive MVP last season.
