A fresh start at quarterback
The TCU Horned Frogs are entering the 2026 season with a reshaped quarterback room, a unit that promises both experience and youthful vigor.
Hoover's departure
Veteran Josh Hoover, who spent three seasons under center for TCU, has announced his move to Indiana, leaving a void that the coaching staff is eager to fill.
Seals' exit
Adding to the turnover, Ken Seals, the Vanderbilt transfer who guided the Frogs to an Alamo Bowl victory over USC in 2025, will also be leaving the program.
Craig's arrival
Enter Jaden Craig, a Harvard graduate who transferred into the program and capped 2025 with single‑season records for completions, touchdown passes and passing yards.
His 4.33 touchdown‑to‑interception ratio eclipses the 2.15 ratio posted by Hoover during his TCU tenure, suggesting a more efficient passing style.
Schobel's role
Coaches have highlighted redshirt freshman Adam Schobel, a legacy Horned Frog, as a possible emergency option should Craig falter or sustain injury.
Depth across the board
The roster will feature five quarterbacks in 2026, including true freshmen Jack Daulton and Jayden Maples, underscoring the depth the staff has assembled.
Potter's background
Redshirt freshman David Potter, who threw for more than 3,000 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior at Texas High School, rounds out the group with a strong high‑school pedigree.
