On Thursday, On3’s Pete Nakos was able to confirm a report of TCU quarterback Josh Hoover intending to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Hoover might wind up being one of the best players to enter this cycle after a great career in Fort Worth. Certainly a name to watch over the next few weeks.
Before officially closing the book on his time at TCU, Hoover released a statement on this matter. He thanked everyone involved with the program for their support in recent years. There was also a confirmation at the end, saying his name will pop up in the portal once it opens in early January.
“First, I want to thank God for the opportunities that he has blessed me with to play this game,” Hoover said. “I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to represent TCU for an incredible 4 years. It has been a dream to be able to play and graduate from this university and I will forever be grateful for that.
“I want to thank Coach (Sonny) Dykes for giving me the opportunity to paly for TCU. I want to thank Coach (Kendal) Briles and the rest of the coaching staff for pushing me to be my best on and off the field.
“Lastly, I want to thank my teammates for all of the memories that we’ve shared together. This place has allowed me to meet some of my best friends, and I will always be grateful for that. I’ve prayed about this and decided that I will be entering the transfer portal.
“God Bless & thank you TCU.”
Hoover played in 12 games this season for TCU, completing 65.9% of his throws. You can add 3,472 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Those turnovers might be something to work on next season, as Hoover’s 13 were the most in the Big 12. Only one other, Baylor‘s Sawyer Robertson, was in double-digits.
One year of eligibility remains after wrapping up a redshirt junior campaign. Hoover only saw one game as a true freshman, opening to door for him to spend five seasons in college. A school is going to be thankful for that decision.
Hoover played high school football at Rockwall (TX) Heath, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 714 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
