Kenny Hill to Transfer to TCU: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Kenny Hill's days as a member of the Texas A&M Aggies are over, but the quarterback won't have to travel too far to suit up for his next team: the TCU Horned Frogs.

He confirmed he plans to enroll at the school next month, per Travis L. Brown of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

"

Former Texas A&M and Southlake Carroll quarterback Kenny Hill will enroll at TCU on June 1 and join the football team, he told the Star-Telegram at a high school baseball playoff game Thursday.

"Two Mondays from now," Hill said, asked when he starts classes at TCU.

Hill also said he has been on campus already to watch spring practice and get a jump on learning the offense. It was expected that he wanted to transfer to TCU.

"

Hill started one year with the Aggies after sitting on the bench his freshman season. During his two years in College Station, Texas, Hill threw for 2,832 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also ran for 193 yards.

Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News didn't see the news as a big surprise:

Jeff Tarpley of GigEm247 reported back in January that Hill was transferring away from Texas A&M, with TCU mentioned as his next destination. Hill's father initially denied the report, but his son ultimately chose the Horned Frogs.

Hill will have to sit out a year before he can take the field, which probably works out best for both parties. Trevone Boykin is a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, so barring injury, Hill wouldn't have been starting right away. Having him unavailable will also prevent any sort of quarterback controversy.

The timing also works out perfectly. Boykin is a senior, so after he has graduated, Hill will be ready to take over.

While Hill became a bit turnover-prone during his final games of the 2014 season, he's unquestionably a great addition to the Horned Frogs on the field. He's a multifaceted QB who fits perfectly into head coach Gary Patterson's offense.
