TCU set to hire former Texas LB Luke Brockermeyer as grad assistant

TCU is dipping into the Texas Longhorns pool as they add to their coaching staff.

According to On3’s Matt Zenitz, the Horned Frogs are hiring former Texas linebacker Luke Brockermeyer as a defensive graduate assistant

“TCU is hiring former Texas linebacker Luke Brockermeyer as a defensive graduate assistant, a source tells @On3sports,” tweeted Zenitz. “Brockermeyer was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection at Texas in 2021.”

As Zenitz mentioned, Brockermeyer was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection at Texas in 2021, amassing 72 total tackles that season.

Now, the former Longhorns star will take his talents to the Horned Frogs, hoping to bring continued success to the program.

TCU hiring Arkansas offensive assistant Mark Cala following Kendal Briles addition

TCU is continuing to add to their offensive coaching staff, bringing former Arkansas quarterback analyst Mark Cala to the Horned Frogs.

Cala took to Twitter to tweet a photo of the TCU mascot, “Excited for this new chapter,” he wrote, revealing he’s following Kendal Briles‘ path.

Afterwards, Matt Zenitz of On3 explained what it all means for the Horned Frogs.

“TCU has hired Arkansas QB analyst Mark Cala to the same position,” tweeted Zenitz. “Cala has worked with new Horned Frogs OC Kendal Briles at FAU, Houston, Florida State, Arkansas and now TCU.”

Moreover, TCU made things official with Kendal Briles earlier, announcing he would be their next offensive coordinator, coming over from Fayetteville. A huge hire for head coach Sonny Dykes, poaching from an SEC program.

Continuing, TCU will be the sixth different offensive coordinator job Briles has held throughout his career. Things got started at Baylor before having two Group of Five jobs at Florida Atlantic and Houston. Florida State then hired Briles before making the move over to Fayetteville.

Additionally, Briles has spent the past three seasons with Arkansas, being a key part of the quick turnaround under head coach Sam Pittman. His offense alongside quarterback KJ Jefferson gave the SEC fits, averaging over 30 points per game over the past two years.

Dykes is only in Year Two with TCU and now has his second offensive coordinator. He will be hoping this one sticks as they look to build something long-term with the Horned Frogs.
