Kyle Hicks

Although he tailed off in the last month of the season playing through injury, Hicks' first year as starter was a clear success. Indeed, he was named team MVP. Even while often dealing with dysfunction in what was a down year for TCU's offense, Hicks finished his 13 games with 1,042 yards (5.1 YPC) and 12 touchdowns rushing, and his standout pass-catching skills led him to 47 receptions for 417 yards and two touchdowns. Gary Patterson is too good of a coach to led TCU skid two years in a row, so hopefully Hicks can profit from improved surroundings in 2017.
