TCU starting center and former Alabama transfer James Brockermeyer is planning to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to a report from Jeremy Clark.

Brockermeyer started all 12 games for the Horned Frogs in 2024. He came to TCU after starting his career at Alabama. The Texas native appeared in all 14 games for the Crimson Tide in 2023.

Brockermeyer originally signed with Alabama after being ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 11 interior offensive lineman in the country in the class of 2021, per the On3 Industry Rankings.

During his time at Alabama, Brockermeyer redshirted in 2021, before appearing in a pair of games in 2022, including a Sugar Bowl victory over Kansas State.

Brockermeyer saw his role increase in 2023 as he played in all 14 games on special teams, while also getting some work in at center. After helping the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff, Brockermeyer transferred at the end of the 2023 season.

Brockermeyer is now looking for another school as he is entering the transfer portal for the second time.

UTSA running back Kevorian Barnes commits to transfer to TCU

While TCU is losing James Brockermeyer to the portal, the Horned Frogs recently picked up a commitment from former UTSA running back Kevorian Barnes.

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, 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.
