TCU football added to its 2027 recruiting class with a defensive lineman from one of the best programs in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Allen defensive lineman Jacobie Wilkerson committed to the Horned Frogs on Sunday after taking his official visit to campus during TCU’s 17-10 defeat against No. 8 BYU. Wilkerson announced his commitment on social media.
Listed at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, Wilkerson is ranked the 238th prospect in Texas according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Wilkerson held offers from Baylor, North Texas and Arkansas State, among others.
Wilkerson was one of the dozens of recruits to take in the Horned Frogs’ top-10 showdown with the Cougars. Despite the result, TCU was able to make a strong impression and landed one of the region’s top defensive linemen.
Wilkerson currently has 12 tackles, seven tackles for loss, five quarterback hurries and four sacks for the Eagles, who are ranked No. 10 nationally by MaxPreps.
Wilkerson is the 20th commitment for the Horned Frogs’ 2027 recruiting class which currently ranks 51st nationally and seventh in the Big 12.
