Braylon Deal<\/a> comes from a family of Horned Frogs.<\/p>\n

Both brothers have signed with or transferred to TCU.<\/p>\n

After navigating his own recruiting journey, the three-star playmaker from Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest<\/a> has followed suit.<\/p>\n

Deal committed to TCU on Tuesday after another visit back over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Position coach Malcolm Kelly<\/a> and the Horned Frogs have made the touted WR a top priority in Funky Town.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about playing big-time football at a school where winning has been consistent, and also getting coached by one of the greatest WR coaches ever,\u201d Deal said. \u201cI had a great time this weekend. I\u2019m glad I could see it from my own recruiting standpoint. They did a good job keeping this trip about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Houston, Stanford, and others were finalists behind TCU for Deal, the No. 117 WR in the 2027 class.<\/p>\n

Deal is a two-way standout for Naaman Forest at receiver and safety, and is also a multi-sport athlete.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s excited to develop under this coaching staff\u2019s tutelage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited about the development I can receive from Coach Kelly, and the role I would play in Coach (Gordon) Sammis\u2019 offense,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe style of the offense is something I\u2019m very familiar with and love playing in. TCU has always been a contender, and this weekend just helped push that a little further.\u201d<\/p>\n
