This time, it\u2019s Liutauras Lelevicius, a 6-foot-7 transfer from Oregon State who leaves after one season with the Horned Frogs. The Lithuanian junior appeared in 34 games and made 22 starts, averaging 8.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting a team-best 88.7 percent from the free throw line. Lelevicius is the fifth TCU player to declare for the portal, following redshirt sophomores Jace Posey and RJ Jones, redshirt freshman Ashton Simmons and freshman Kayden Edwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lelevicius was one of the team\u2019s best shooters during the 2025-26 season, posting averages of 45.7% from the field and 38.0% from 3-point range. Prior to arriving in Fort Worth, Lelevicius scored 8.7 points and grabbed 4.0 rebounds per game during his sophomore season at Oregon State. His departure further deplets the backcourt and wing depth for the Horned Frogs, who are losing senior starter Jayden Pierre as well. Brock Harding and Tanner Toolson are currently the only backcourt players with experience projected to return next winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another TCU guard has declared for the transfer portal.
