The TCU Horned Frogs are less than 30 days from kicking off the 2025 football season with a nonconference road matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels and new head coach Bill Belichick. As we count down the days until kickoff, we’ll highlight a former (or current) Horned Frog whose jersey number represents the number of days left until the opener.
11 – Ranthony Texada (Cornerback – 2013-17)
Texada emerged as a redshirt freshman in 2014, when he started alongside All-Big 12 cornerback Kevin White
and aided a TCU secondary that helped the Horned Frogs win a share of the conference title and win the Peach Bowl against Ole Miss. A Scout.com Freshman All-American recipient in 2014, Texada went on to receive an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2016 and All-Big 12 First Team honors as a redshirt senior in 2017. The Frisco, Texas native started 42 games for the Horned Frogs, ending his TCU career with 111 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss and five sacks as well as 32 pass breakups, three interceptions and one forced fumble.
Texada signed with the Washington Redskins (now Commanders) as an undrafted free agent in 2018. From 2019 to 2023, Texada made professional stints with the Canadian Football League (CFL) and XFL. The bulk of his professional experience has come in the CFL, where Texada has played for the Ottawa Redblacks (2019, 2021-22), Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2020) and Montreal Alouettes (2022). Texada played for the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL in 2023. In the XFL, Texada made 48 tackles and one interception. Texada played in four CFL games, posting 24 tackles and one interception.
