Which recruits signed with TCU football on Early Signing Day?
Early Signing Day is officially here, and TCU football put the finishing touches on its initial batch of 2026 recruits.
The biggest surprise was a positive one for the Horned Frogs, as TCU flipped three-star wide receiver Cooper Reid from Arizona State on Wednesday morning.
A standout at Dripping Springs, Reid had 112 receptions, 1,784 yards and 32 touchdowns the past two seasons, making him one of the most productive receivers in Texas.
The 6-foot-3 Reid is ranked the No. 149 receiver in the nation and the No. 141 overall prospect in the state, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He is No. 1,052 overall nationally.
TCU signed 21 players, and the Horned Frogs’ recruiting class ranks No. 37 overall and No. 6 in the Big 12, according to 247Sports.
TCU previously added Oklahoma State offensive lineman Noah McKinney in the transfer portal.
National Signing Day is Feb. 4.

EDGE Carter Buck (Austin, Lake Travis HS): Buck is listed at 6-5, 220 pounds and is ranked the No. 400 overall prospect nationally and No. 52 in the state in 247Sports’ composite rankings. He is the gem of the Horned Frogs’ class at No. 183 nationally according to 247Sports’ in-house rating system.

S Jason Bradford (Temple): Bradford, listed as 6-2.5, 195 pounds, should bring great size and length to the Horned Frogs’ secondary. TCU flipped the four-star defensive back, ranked No. 408 nationally and No. 53 in the state, from Oklahoma State in June.
RB Amante Martin (Port Arthur, Memorial HS): A slightly bigger back than Graham, Martin is listed at 5-11.5, 185 pounds. Ranked the No. 658 prospect nationally and No. 91 in the state, the three-star recruit picked TCU over Houston, Kentucky and California.

WR Ayson Theus (Duncanville): Theus is one of the most electric players in the state and could help the Duncanville capture another state championship.
