FWST: TCU gives quarterback job to A&M transfer Kenny Hill

Opting for the demonstrated ability of Kenny Hill, TCU named the former Southlake Carroll star its starting quarterback for the season opener Sept. 3 against South Dakota State.

It will be Hill’s first action since 2014, when he began the season as the starter at Texas A&M and set a school record for passing yards in a debut. He sat out 2015 after transferring to TCU.

“It’s what he came here for,” coach Gary Patterson told reporters Thursday after practice. “Kenny has a lot to prove, but as I told him, our job is just to win. It’s not to put up big numbers, not to do anything else. Put the ball where it’s supposed to be, run the ball when you’re supposed to and get ready to play.”
