TCU Horned Frogs made a significant splash in the 2027 recruiting cycle with the commitment of 4-star cornerback Daniel Yebit. Yebit, the No. 5 ranked player in Oklahoma and the No. 15 ranked cornerback prospect in the country, chose the Horned Frogs over Minnesota, Arizona State, Arkansas, and other top programs. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder from Yukon, Oklahoma, had a standout junior year, catching 43 passes for 760 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver, while also adding 37 tackles and four interceptions on defense. And with his impressive athleticism, Yebit was a state high jump champion and state runner-up in long jump during his sophomore year. But what sets Yebit apart is his versatility, having also placed second in both high jump and long jump in the indoor state finals as a junior. So far, Yebit's commitment has made him the highest-rated recruit in the 2027 class for the Horned Frogs, who now have 14 recruits and three cornerbacks in the class. Yebit's decision to join the Horned Frogs is a significant boost to their defense, and his recruiting process was likely influenced by the team's coaching staff, including head coach Sonny Dykes. With Yebit on board, the Horned Frogs' 2027 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the strongest in the Big 12. The team's ability to attract top talent like Yebit will be crucial in competing with other top programs in the conference. Yebit's commitment was announced on Wednesday evening, and he is expected to make an immediate impact on the team's defense when he arrives on campus.
