TCU football has landed a major recruiting win, securing a commitment from four‑star cornerback Daniel Yebit for the 2027 cycle.
Yebit, ranked No. 5 in Oklahoma and No. 15 nationally among cornerbacks, chose the Horned Frogs over a slate of offers that included Minnesota, Arizona State, Arkansas and several other programs.
Why TCU?
The decision reflects a blend of coaching rapport, early playing time prospects and the program’s upward trajectory, factors that resonated with the Oklahoma standout.
During his junior season he recorded 43 receptions for 760 yards and six touchdowns, while also contributing 37 tackles and four interceptions on defense.
His sophomore year produced 41 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, underscoring a knack for playmaking on both sides of the ball.
A multi‑sport standout
Beyond football, Yebit excelled in track, capturing the state title in the high jump and finishing second in the long jump during his sophomore year, then repeating the runner‑up spot in both events at the indoor state finals as a junior.
Those athletic feats helped him become the highest‑rated recruit in TCU’s 2027 class, a group that now counts 14 commitments, three of which are cornerbacks.
The Horned Frogs’ 2027 class, bolstered by Yebit’s pledge, signals an aggressive push to elevate talent levels and compete nationally in the coming years.
