TCU keeps fighting through the NIL chaos, targeting Caleb Siler and building around QB commit Brice McCurdy in the 2027 class.
TCU recruiting isn’t backing down in Texas, even with NIL money, SEC noise and realignment pressure reshaping college football.
The Horned Frogs are still pushing for serious 2027 talent, and names like offensive tackle Caleb Siler and quarterback commit Brice McCurdy show why Sonny Dykes’ program remains dangerous on the trail.
As TCU on SI wrote, the pitch is pretty clear.
TCU can offer Power Four football, strong facilities, real development and a Fort Worth campus that doesn’t feel like a football factory. That matters for players and families trying to look beyond the flashiest offer.
The Horned Frogs’ investment in player care is becoming a real recruiting weapon, too.
The Simpson Family Restoration and Wellness Center gives TCU another campus showcase piece, and the program’s “Snow Room” is the kind of unique detail recruits remember after a visit.
In a sport where every school claims it can develop players, TCU has something tangible to point at.
That brings us to Caleb Siler, one of the more intriguing offensive line targets in Texas.
The Gunter standout is listed at 6-8, giving him the kind of frame that offensive line coaches dream about. Rivals rates him as an 89 prospect, while 247Sports has him at 87.
Texas, Texas Tech and Arkansas are also involved, so this won’t be an easy win. But TCU staying in the fight for a tackle with Siler’s upside says plenty about where the staff believes it can compete.
Then there’s Brice McCurdy, who has already jumped into the class as a quarterback building block.
The Robinson High School passer chose TCU over Baylor, a notable win considering Robinson sits near Waco. McCurdy is listed at 6-0, 205 pounds and ranked by 247Sports as the No. 143 player in Texas and No. 58 quarterback in the state.
McCurdy’s commitment could also matter beyond the quarterback room.
His connection with 2027 wide receiver Kobe Haynes gives TCU another recruiting thread to pull as it builds the class.

The Horned Frogs don’t have to recruit like Texas or Texas A&M to win big. They have to identify fits, sell development and turn relationships into commitments.
So far, TCU is still doing exactly that. In today’s recruiting world, that’s not just survival. That’s momentum.
