TCU football notebook: Horned Frogs host key visitor, make another staff change

[ad_1]

TCU football continued its busy offseason with more staff changes and developments on the recruiting trail.

The Horned Frogs could be closing in on their next quarterback, as Harvard transfer Jaden Craig arrived this week for an official visit.

Craig has been a standout in the Ivy League. Over the past two seasons, Craig threw for 5,299 yards and 48 touchdowns while completing 61% of his passes. He also led Harvard to its first FCS playoff appearance this season.

Listed at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Craig would be a senior next season, which would fit nicely with TCU’s timeline with freshmen Adam Schobel and Jack Daulton. Craig threw for 300 yards or more in five games this season and also had five games with three or more touchdown passes. Craig owns many of Harvard’s passing records, including career passing yards and touchdowns.

Craig would be the replacement for Josh Hoover, who entered the transfer portal on Dec. 18. Many speculate that Hoover will end up at Indiana.

Other transfer names to know include Cincinnati wide receiver Caleb Goodie, Southeastern Louisiana cornerback Zach Johnson and Louisiana Tech linebacker Mekhi Mason.

TCU makes another staff change

The Star-Telegram confirmed on Saturday that the program is parting ways with Kaz Kazadi, who served as assistant athletics director for football human performance for four seasons under head coach Sonny Dykes.

Kazadi played an instrumental role in helping TCU reach the national championship game in his first season in 2022. Kazadi previously held a similar position under Dykes at SMU in 2018-21 and also for Baylor in 2012-16 under Art Briles.

With Kazadi’s departure, TCU no longer has major staff members still employed from the Briles era at Baylor. Offensive coordinator Kendal Briles departed for South Carolina and former cornerbacks coach Carlton Buckels left in 2024.

More Horned Frogs enter the portal

Two more TCU reserves entered the transfer portal over the weekend, offensive tackle Quinton Harris and cornerback Elijah Jackson.

Harris announced he was entering the portal on social media. The former Arlington Seguin standout played in all 13 games and made four starts this season.

Jackson, a transfer from Washington, struggled with injuries this season and appeared in just one game.
