TCU Horned Frogs cornerback Julian Knox has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.

Knox played high school football at North Crowley (Fort Worth, TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 848 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Knox did not accumulated any statistics during his first season with TCU. As a recruit, he held offers from a bevy of Texas-based programs, such as North Texas, UTSA, Sam Houston State and Texas State.

In other TCU related news regarding the NCAA Transfer Portal, UTSA Roadrunners running back Kevorian Barnes has committed to transfer to the Horned Frogs, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

Barnes played four seasons with UTSA, taking a redshirt in the 2021 season. During that time, he played in 39 games for the Roadrunners and carried the ball 366 times for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns. That’s 4.9 yards per carry. He also has 31 receptions for 237 yards through the air.

However, 2024 was a step back statistically for Barnes. He carried the ball 69 fewer times than in 2023 and as a result, he’s coming off a season where he only rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns.

Coming out of high school at San Augustine in Texas, Kevorian Barnes was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2021, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He was the 117th-ranked running back and the 1,478th-ranked player overall in that recruiting cycle.

A four-year letterman and three-time team captain in high school, Barnes was a three-time all-district performer. He also competed for the track & field, baseball, basketball, and powerlifting teams in high school.

Now, Barnes is joining a TCU team coming off an 8-4 season in 2024. That landed the Horned Frogs in the New Mexico Bowl. It also moved the Horned Frogs to 13-11 since their run to the national championship team in 2022.
