TCU quarterback Josh Hoover announced Thursday that he will forgo playing in the Alamo Bowl and enter the transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2.
“I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to represent TCU for an incredible 4 years,” Hoover wrote in a statement on social media. “It has been a dream to be able to play and graduate from this university and I will forever be grateful for that.
“… I’ve prayed about this and decided that I will be entering the transfer portal.”
Hoover has been the Horned Frogs’ starting quarterback since taking over in 2023, midway through his redshirt freshman campaign. He ranks third in TCU program history with 9,629 career passing yards, 71 touchdown passes and 771 completions.
In 12 games in 2025, Hoover threw for 3,472 yards and 29 touchdowns, along with a Big 12-leading 13 interceptions.
TCU (8-4) faces No. 16 Southern California in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30.
