TCU football lands top-ranked player in transfer portal for 2026

TCU football landed a massive transfer portal commitment late Wednesday from a Big 12 rival.

Oklahoma State offensive lineman Noah McKinney, 247Sports’ top-ranked player in the portal, committed to TCU, according to multiple reports. McKinney entered the portal Oct. 16 after the Cowboys fired head coach Mike Gundy, but McKinney is still on Oklahoma State’s roster and is finishing out the season.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound McKinney has been one of the bright spots for the Cowboys (1-8, 0-6 Big 12) this season with an impressive pass-blocking grade of 84, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Frisco native went to Hebron, then finished high school in Nevada and started his college career at UNLV.

McKinney will be a redshirt senior next season. North Carolina and Kentucky were some of the other programs recruiting McKinney.
