Banogu and Collier were first-team All-Big 12
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Led by defensive ends Ben Banogu and L.J. Collier earning first-team All-Big 12 recognition from the conference head coaches, 24 TCU football student-athletes received individual accolades in the 2018 season.
The Horned Frogs, who return 13 starters (seven offensive, six defensive) next fall, are one of just six programs nationally (Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma) to have at least three Associated Press final top-10 rankings in the last five seasons.
TCU begins the 2019 campaign with an Aug. 31 home game versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff. After an open date, the Horned Frogs will then travel to Purdue for a Sept. 14 contest.
