TCU releases post-spring depth chart with true freshman in starting lineup

TCU has some holes on the defensive side after graduating the top three linebackers from a year ago.



The Horned Frogs’ post-spring depth chart lists true freshman Mike Freeze as the starter at middle linebacker in TCU’s two-linebacker system. His partner is currently listed as junior Sammy Douglas.

Freeze, a three-star recruit out of Graham, has never played the position before arriving at TCU as an early enrollee, Gary Patterson told reporters earlier this month.

“Mike Freeze does some things naturally that you can’t teach,” Patterson said. “And he was a safety in high school, never has played linebacker, so every day is a new day for him.”

Here are a few other notes from the depth chart:

–The Frogs could potentially have two true freshmen starting at the same position by fall. Alec Dunham, another three-star recruit, is listed behind Douglas for the other linebacker spot beside Freeze. Dunham enrolled early after playing at Coldspring-Oakhurst in Coldspring, Texas.

–TCU doesn’t appear ready to name one of its young quarterbacks as Trevone Boykin’s backup — and the potential starter-in-waiting — just yet. Senior Bram Kohlhausen is listed behind the Heisman candidate with redshirt freshmen Foster Sawyer and Grayson Muehlstein listed third and fourth respectively.

–Similar to last season when four Frogs were listed as starters at tailback, TCU again has utilized the word “OR” in its depth chart. Aaron Green, Trevorris Johnson and Kyle Hicks are all sharing starting duties as of now with redshirt freshman Shaun Nixon waiting behind.

–TCU has 98 starts across its offensive line, but a sophomore with no starting experience is winning the battle at right tackle. Joseph Noteboom was among the favorites to start on the line a year ago, but was overtaken on the depth chart Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Tayo Fabuluje. With Vaitai moving to the left side after Fabuluje’s graduation, Noteboom will have a chance on the right.

–Sophomore Torrence Mosley is currently in line to start at corner opposite Ranthony Texada as the Frogs look to replace Kevin White.

–Despite a previously announced move to cornerback, Cameron Echols-Luper is listed at receiver after injuries kept him on offense during the spring.

GHS track teams shine at area meet; grab 19 regional spots

Cara Cowser won the 100-meter hurdles and finished second in the 300-meter hurdles. Cowser set a new Graham High School record in the 100 hurdles in 14.77 seconds. (Tori Cummings)
The Graham track teams took five individual area championships, set three school records on Thursday and punched 19 tickets to the Region I meet.

The Steers finished fourth overall with 92 points behind Abilene-Wylie (132), Vernon (103) and Mineral Wells (97). The Lady Blues finished fifth with 68 points. Wylie won the area with 140 points. The top four finishers in each event advanced to the Region I meet in Lubbock on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2.

“We are very pleased with all of our area track contestants,” coach Jim Walton said. “Bradley Little, Lana Plaster and Conner Smith, all stood out in the field events. Both of 1600-meter relays qualified for regional with season best times. This is a very strong area and to advance from this meet was no small task. We feel like we are sending a strong group out to Lubbock and several that have a chance to advance to state.”

The Steers took three individual area titles, highlighted by another record-breaking performance from Chanse Moss. Moss dominated the shot put by resetting the Graham High School record at 54 feet, 8 inches, more than four feet better than the runner up. Moss broke the 59-year-old record last Monday at the district meet.

Connor Smith took first in the discus by almost four feet at 150 feet, 3 inches. Bradley Little pole vaulted 13 feet for the area crown.

The Lady Blues had two area champions. Lanna Plaster won the girls shot put with a throw of 38 feet. Cara Cowser took the area title in the 100-meter hurdles in 14.77 seconds, which broke the school record from 2005 of 14.97. Cowser placed second in the 300-meter hurdles in 46.98.
