Three-time All-Big 12 selection had 319 career tackles at TCU, second-most in the Gary Patterson era
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- TCU linebacker Ty Summers was selected Saturday by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Summers is the third Horned Frog taken in this year's draft, joining fellow TCU graduates L.J. Collier (first round, Seattle Seahawks) and Ben Banogu (second round, Indianapolis Colts). TCU has had at least three players selected in three of the last four NFL drafts.
Summers is the first Horned Frog drafted by the Packers since offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse in the fifth round in 2010.
Summers, a three-time All-Big 12 selection, had 319 tackles in his career for the second-best total in the 18-season tenure of head coach Gary Patterson. He was also a three-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week and the Walter Camp National Player of the Week in 2015 when he posted a career-high 23 tackles, including the game-ending stop on a 4th-and-1 in the second overtime of a 28-21 victory over Baylor.
A San Antonio native, Summers was a high school quarterback before his arrival at TCU. In addition to his 319 career stops, he totaled 23.5 tackles for loss and 10.0 sacks, including 4.0 in each of the last two seasons.
Summers was also a three-time Academic All-Big 12 recipient.
Patterson has now had 48 players drafted with a total of 116 in NFL camps. ESPN.com has previously ranked TCU No. 1 in the nation for developing NFL talent.
