TCU Quarterback Josh Hoover Enters Transfer Portal Ahead of January Window

The senior-to-be enters a brief January portal window positioned as one of the sport’s most productive returning passers.

Overview

Hoover announced he will enter the NCAA transfer portal after four seasons at TCU, thanking Sonny Dykes, Kendal Briles and teammates in his statement.
He finished his Horned Frogs career with 771 completions on 1,183 attempts for 9,629 yards, 71 touchdowns and 33 interceptions in 36 games.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Hoover projects to lead all 2026 returnees in career passing yards and touchdown passes.
Tennessee previously recruited Hoover after Nico Iamaleava transferred to UCLA, with reporting that the Vols floated a seven‑figure raise, and other programs such as Miami, Indiana and Texas Tech are expected to check in.
Past ties could factor into interest, as Briles recruited Hoover previously and is now South Carolina’s offensive coordinator, and Hoover held an Arkansas offer from Briles in 2020; the portal window runs Jan. 2–16.
