TCU football is moving closer to its 2026 season opener against North Carolina in Dublin, Ireland on Aug. 29. As the Countdown to Kickoff continues, we’ll highlight a former Horned Frog whose jersey number coincided with the number of days remaining until the opener. At No. 10 is former TCU wide receiver Desmon White!
White finished with 1,043 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 101 receptions over his four years with TCU. The 5-foot-7, 160-pounder from DeSoto turned in arguably the best performance
of his career during the team’s Alamo Bowl win over Stanford in 2017. White threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Kenny Hill, reeled in an 11-yard touchdown grab and returned a punt 76 yards to score and give the Horned Frogs a late lead.
Appearing in 49 games and making 13 starts, White posted career-bests in receptions (38), receiving yards (390) and receiving touchdowns (4) during his senior season in 2017. White helped the Horned Frogs finish 11-3 and defeat Stanford in the Alamo Bowl. He had over 200 receiving yards in both his sophomore and junior seasons in 2015 and 2016. As a three-star high school prospect out of DeSoto, White signed with TCU over North Texas.
