Kindred was first-team All-Big 12 in 2015. He started the final 29 games of his TCU career. Listenbee, a two-time track and field All-American with a 10.03 time in the 100 meters, averaged 19.4 yards per reception in his career. Oberkrom is the TCU and Big 12 career leader with 79 field goals. Vaitai was a two-time All-Big 12 selection, including a first-team pick in 2015.
In his 15 seasons as TCU’s head coach, Gary Patterson has had 36 players drafted with 82 in NFL camps. TCU has had at least two players drafted in six of the last seven seasons.Â
