TCU Lands Harvard Quarterback Jaden Craig in Massive Transfer Portal Splash
In a move that could have significant implications for the upcoming college football season, TCU Horned Frogs quarterback coach Sonny Dykes' prized recruit has finally found his way to Fort Worth. After years of dominating at Ivy League powerhouse Harvard, Jaden Craig is set to make the leap to the Power Four as the newest addition to the Horned Frogs roster.
The 6,000-yard quarterback in Harvard history, who elevated himself from a relative unknown prospect to top-20 quarterback in the transfer portal, joins a TCU program that has consistently produced talented quarterbacks. With star QB Josh Hoover leaving for Indiana over the weekend, Craig was immediately targeted by the Horned Frogs coaching staff.
Craig's impressive collegiate resume boasts significant growth in his passing yards each year. In his final season at Harvard, he threw for 2,869 yards with 25 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. While not a mobile quarterback, he possesses exceptional power behind his throws when given time.
TCU has a history of extracting top quarterback performances from players who may not fit the traditional mold. Under Dykes' guidance, quarterbacks have thrived in specific roles, highlighting Craig's potential to excel in the system. Although he lacks athleticism and speed, Craig compensates with incredible arm strength, making him an attractive prospect for the Horned Frogs.
With a strong returning cast and a relatively easy schedule, TCU aims to reclaim national prominence after their last Championship appearance in 2022. If Craig can lead them back to contention, his one-year eligibility remaining could make him a viable candidate for the 2027 NFL Draft.
