TCU lost two defensive backs to the transfer portal following spring football camp, but they found a suitable replacement late Tuesday night. Texas transfer defensive back Austin Jordan revealed his move to Fort Worth on social media. Jordan, a former top-150 prospect from Denton Ryan High School, comes closer to home and is expected to compete for reps with the Horned Frogs.
Jordan played in all 13 games in 2022, largely on special teams, and recorded seven tackles, two of which came against Alabama. Jordan played 12 games for the Longhorns last season, largely on special teams, but he intercepted his first pass against Rice and returned a blocked extra point for two points against Iowa State.
Jordan possesses good size (6-foot, 198 pounds) and should be able to help TCU on special teams and in depth. Champ Lewis and Dre Seldon were the two defensive backs who entered the gateway following the spring. Lewis was an outside corner, whereas Seldon primarily played the nickel position.
Aside from special teams, Jordan generally played nickel for the Longhorns, but he fell behind in the rotation and will now look for a bigger role at TCU. Jordan is the third transfer TCU has signed in the spring window, following Alabama transfer James Brockermeyer and Houston defensive lineman Hakeem Ajijolaiya.
