The Horned Frogs snag a talented East Texas running back from Palestine.
TCU football added Palestine three-star running back Jon Denman to the 2025 recruiting class on Saturday evening. The 5-foot-10, 193-pounder had offers from several power programs including Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Houston and more. Denman becomes the first running back of the 2025 class for the Horned Frogs, who remain in the top 20 with the No. 17 overall class, according to the 247Sports ratings, despite losing four-star quarterback commit Ty Hawkins, who recently flipped his pledge to SMU.

Denman ranks as the No. 53 running back nationally and the No. 112 player in the state of Texas under the 247Sports composite ratings. A two-way football player who also competes in track and field as well as basketball, Denman will join a running back room at TCU that is loaded with young talent including sophomore Cam Cook as well as incoming freshmen Jeremy Payne and Nate Palmer. The Horned Frogs are also welcoming in former Arkansas ball carrier Dominique Johnson and veterans Trey Sanders and Trent Battle return as well.
