The NFL draft is coming faster than you know it, which means that mock drafts and potential scenarios are going to be flying left and right.
And the TCU Horned Frogs have a few guys that will be in the mix when the draft comes in April.
Texas Christian has a few guys that have declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, and in no particular order, here are the guys who we think are the cream of the crop from TCU.
TCU did not have the best passing defense this season with over 3,000 passing yards allowed, but Clark has been one of the bright spots in the secondary for the last several seasons.
The 24-year-old safety could have been picked in the later rounds this past draft, but staying a year could mean that he has the opportunity to go a bit higher and make an immediate difference on whatever team drafts him.
Clark finished 2025 with 56 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 11 games played. Perhaps his most impressive stat was his four interceptions, one of which he took all the way to the house.
The star linebacker had a very solid season in his junior year with TCU, which was his first year with the team, but that was nothing compared to what he was able to do in his senior season.
He finished the year with an incredible 130 total tackles to lead the Big 12. He also showed his ability to get into the backfield with 11 tackles for loss and four sacks.
One of the biggest things that NFL teams look at is versatility, and Elarms-Orr has that in spades.
Obiazor is another guy that could have been drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, but staying with the Horned Frogs for another season could prove to work out in his favor.
The TCU defensive star finished his final year with the team with 88 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks. His ability to defend the pass was also on display with a pair of interceptions.
Being a tackling machine who can step back and guard receivers is invaluable to the NFL, and Obiazor brings that to the table.
Wide receiver is obviously one of the most important positions on the football field, and McAlister is a guy that could be a difference maker at the position.
He was the only Big 12 player to finish with over 1,000 receiving yards with 1,190, and he did so with 10 touchdowns and 72 receptions.
His 6-3, 193 pound frame could make him a physical threat on the outside, and that is something that a few NFL teams could be on the lookout for.
