Hoover will be one of the most productive and coveted players available, as he projects to have the most passing yards (9,629) and touchdown passes (71) of any player returning to college football next season. Hoover says he will not play in for TCU in the Alamo Bowl. Hoover has been TCU's starting quarterback since midway through the 2023 season, throwing for 439 yards and four touchdowns in his first start against BYU.
