TCU Horned Frogs Early Signing Day Tracker: Every Player Coming to the Program in 2026

It is the early signing period, and with announcements continuing to roll in, here is a look at TCU Football's latest signing class.

Headlining the signing is none other than wide receiver Cooper Reid. The Dripping Springs native had offers from Kansas, Houston, California and Arizona State. Despite initially committing to the Sun Devils, Reid announced he flipped his commitment to join Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs.

Reid has been one of the premier high school wide receivers in Texas the last two years. He enjoyed a successful senior year with Dripping Springs, helping lead the Tigers to a 12-1 record. He caught for 778 yards and 17 touchdowns in the 2025 season. The year prior, Reid racked up 1,006 receiving yards for 15 touchdowns over the course of 12 games.

Another exciting offensive signing is tight end Kari Ashley. The Georgia native is the 2nd-ranked JUCO tight end prospect in the nation, according to 247Sports composite rankings. He played two years at Georgia Tech before transferring to Navarro College in Corsicana, TX.

Carter Buck is one of the top names among TCU’s defensive signings. The potent edge rusher is coming off a tremendous senior year at Lake Travis High School, where he finished the season with 18.5 sacks in 13 games. Not to mention, he had 30 tackles for loss and one interception.
