TCU football loses another player to the NCAA transfer portal
TCU football has seen another player enter the NCAA transfer portal this season.
Freshman quarterback Eli Williams has decided to transfer, a source confirmed to the Star-Telegram on Monday. The Horned Frogs had two reserve wide receivers — Dylan Thomas and Al’Dontre Davis — enter the portal last week.
Williams explained his decision in a social media post, writing in part: “Unfortunately this program was not the best fit for me.”
Williams joined the program as a three-star prospect out of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. He did not play in a game this season.
With Williams’ departure, TCU now has three scholarship quarterbacks in starter Max Duggan and backups Matthew Downing and Stephon Brown. Duggan and Downing could have as many as three years of eligibility left with the NCAA freezing eligibility this fall amid the coronavirus pandemic, while Brown could have two years.
The Horned Frogs’ 2021 recruiting class features two QBs with German Alexander Honig and Trent Battle of Daphne, Alabama committed.
TCU is off to a 1-3 start this season. The Horned Frogs will face Baylor on Saturday in Waco. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
Briefly
The Nov. 7 game between TCU and Texas Tech will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the Big 12 announced. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.
