 The Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame inducted its 2025 Class this past Saturday, March 1, in Dallas, and among the inductees were two former Horned Frog football players, LaDainian Tomlinson and Larry Brown.
The induction was held at Dallas Renaissance Hall and also included the inductions of Gladys Lee, Michelle Carter, Calvin Murray, Derrick James, Greg Williams, Harvey Armstrong, Eugene Lockhart Jr., Ken Washington, Harold Cash and the late Fritz Pollard.
Tomlinson was arguably one of the top running backs in the history of college and professional football. Tomlinson helped kick off TCU's resurgence in football during the turn of the millennium when he recorded an All-America career highlighted by a pair of national rushing titles during his final two seasons in 1999 and 2000. His 2,158 yards as a senior marked the fourth-highest single-season total in NCAA history at the time, while his 5,263 career rushing yards ranked sixth. In 2000, Tomlinson was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, finishing fourth, and won the Doak Walker Award as nation's top running back. LT was officially inducted into TCU's Athletics Hall of Fae in 2012 following his retirement from the NFL.
Brown played two seasons for the Horned Frogs from 1988-89 after transferring in following a two-year stint at Los Angeles Southwest College. In his two seasons at TCU, he totaled more than 100 tackles and three interceptions, to go along with 10+ pass breakups. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1991 NFL Draft and went onto become a three-time Super Bowl Champion (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX). He tallied a pair of second half interceptions against the Pittsburg Steelers in Super Bowl XXX, on the way to earning Super Bowl MVP honors.
Congratulations to both LaDainian and Larry on this outstanding honor!

 Big 12 Conference Champions!
Congratulations to the TCU women's basketball team, who won the program's first-ever Big 12 regular-season conference championship following a 51-48 road win over Baylor this past Sunday. The Horned Frogs earned their first regular-season conference championship for the first time since winning the Mountain West Conference regular-season title following the 2009-10 season. Head coach Mark Campbell was named the Big 12's Coach of the Year, while Hailey Van Lith was tabbed the league's Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Van Lith, Sedona Prince and Madison Conner were each named to the All-Big 12 First Team.
The women's basketball team is currently in Kansas City, Mo., for the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Tournament. They earned the tournament's No. 1 seed and will face Colorado today in the Quarterfinals. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. and the contest will be aired on ESPNU.
TCU is a lock to earn at least an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament - and with a No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, or No. 4 seed - the Horned Frogs would host the first round of the tournament, which is set to get underway March 21-24. TCU is currently projected to get a No. 3 seed in the tournament. Should the Horned Frogs host the first round, NCAA Tournament ticket information will be available at GoFrogs.com.
 Women's Golf Off to Hot Start this Spring
The TCU women's golf team has put together back-to-back-to-back top-three finishes to start the 2025 Spring schedule, which included winning the Chevron Collegiate back on Feb. 25, in Houston.
The women's golf team opened the Spring slate with a second-place finish at the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club on Feb. 1, and just wrapped up playing at the MountainView Collegiate in Tucson, Ariz., where they posted a third-place team finish. Freshman Camille Min-Gaultier has played phenomally for the Horned Frogs, registering a pair of second-place individual finishes at both the Chevron Collegiate and MountainView Collegiate, while also posting a top-15 finish at the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club.
 Frogball Back on the Diamond at Lupton Stadium
The TCU baseball team is off to another hot start and heads into this weekend's home series against Fresno State with an overall record of 9-4.
The Horned Frogs opened the season a four-game road series sweep against San Diego and then picked up a win against Michigan at Globelife Park. TCU opened its nine-game home stand with a win over Tarleton last week and registered a pair of wins over Air Force this week.
Senior Cole Cramer was tabbed the Big 12's Newcomer of the Week following TCU's sweep at San Diego, hitting safely in all four games against USD and finishing the weekend with a .412 batting average that included a pair of doubles and two home runs.
 TCU Swim & Dive Wrap-Up Big 12 Championships
The Horned Frogs swim & dive teams earned multiple Big 12 medals and recorded a handful of school records at the Big 12 Championships that were held in Federal Way, Wash., this past week.
TCU garnered a total of 13 medals throughout the championships, which included four gold, two silver, and seven bronze.
David Ekdahl won gold in both the 1m and 3m diving events, while Anna Kwong took gold in the 3m dive and silver in the 1m event. The men's diving team combined to take home gold, recording a score of 407.45 that set a new NCAA, Big 12 and Big 12 Championship mark in the event. The women's diving team took home bronze in the team event. Meanwhile, the men's 200 free relay team took home silver, and the men's 200 and 400 medley relay teams both took bronze. Elliott Dillon was a two-time medalist, earning bronze in both 1m and 3m diving events. Jeanne Dahmen was a bronze medalist in the 100 fly and Nina Vadovicova earned bronze in the 200 breast event.
 Three Frogs Qualify for NCAA Indoor National Championships
Sprinters Kashie Crockett and Indya Mayberry are joined by middle distance runner Tabitha Ngao at the championship meet, after posting top 16 times in their respective events this season.
Mayberry - just a freshman for the Horned Frogs - was just named 2025 Big 12 Indoor Championship Women's High Point Performer, scoring 20 of the team's 55 total points. She won gold medals in both 60 and 200 meter sprints.
Crockett qualified for his first NCAA Indoor Championships after representing TCU last outdoor season at the national meet. At the Big 12 Championships, he turned in a career-best time of 20.55, the second-fastest in school history, before coming back the next day to win bronze in the 200 meters.
Ngao rounds out the trio that will race in Virginia Beach, qualifying in the 800 meters. She was a gold medalst in the 1000 meter event at last week's Big 12 Indoor Championships.
 Beach Volleyball at Home this Weekend
The TCU beach volleyball team's Spring season is underway and they are hosting the TCU Invitational at the TCU Sand Courts on campus this weekend!
