Football Well Represented with 2015 Postseason Honors

 

FORT WORTH, Texas — Twenty-six TCU football student-athletes received postseason honors in the 2015 campaign.

 

The Horned Frogs finished 11-2 for their eighth 11-win season in the last 11 years.

 

TCU, after its 47-41 triple-overtime victory over Oregon in the Valero Alamo Bowl, closed the year ranked seventh in season-ending polls by the Associated Press and Amway USA Today Coaches. The Horned Frogs have finished in the top 10 in back-to-back seasons and five times in the last eight years. In 15 seasons under head coach Gary Patterson, TCU has posted six top-10 finishes and 10 in the top 25.

 

Wide receiver Josh Doctson was recognized by the NCAA as a unanimous consensus first-team All-American. He gave TCU a consensus All-American for the second straight season and fifth time in eight years.

 

The Horned Frogs return 18 starters (11 defensive, 7 offensive) in 2016. The total includes six starters who suffered season-ending injuries last season.
