There was a time when Kenny Hill was thought to be the future of Texas A&M, but after a few rough games in 2014 and a not-so-guaranteed starting job in 2015, he decided to transfer from the program. He did pass for 2,649 yards, 23 touchdowns and just eight picks following up the Johnny Manziel era.

Hill now has a fresh start with the TCU Horned Frogs and in his first eligible season, he has passed for 1,936 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. It’s crazy to think that he’s just 700 yards away from eclipsing his mark from his full-time starting job in 2014.

The junior hasn’t been the problem for TCU. The Horned Frogs are just 3-2 to start the season. You might look at the schedule and think that he hasn’t played enough quality teams to be considered one of the top quarterbacks in college football, but he did throw for 449 yards and five touchdowns against Oklahoma last week.

Gary Patterson was wise enough to bring the quarterback in to replace a graduating Trevone Boykin and he has picked up right where his predecessor left off.

Hill can run and pass, a deadly combination in an offense-heavy conference.
