TCU redshirt senior linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr, who received All-Big 12 First Team honors this season, has accepted an invitation to compete in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl at The Star in Frisco, Texas
on Jan. 27. Elarms-Orr spent two seasons with the Horned Frogs, recording 119 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and four sacks as a starting linebacker in 2025. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder, who had 15 or more tackles in three games this season, transferred to TCU after three years at California, where he earned All-Pac 12 honors in 2023.
Elarms-Orr took on a key reserve role for the TCU defense last season, totaling 54 tackles and two sacks. The Hayward, California native signed with California as a four-star high school prospect and had his best season with the Golden Bears in 2023, recording 87 total tackles, six pass breakups, one sack, one forced fumble and one interception. Elarms-Orr becomes the third Horned Frog to accept a postseason bowl invitation, joining safety Bud Clark and tight end DJ Rogers, who are both playing at the Panini Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
