Eric McAlister

McAlister returns for his senior season as quarterback Josh Hoover's top target and TCU's most consistent deep threat receiver. He racked up 762 yards and five touchdowns on 39 receptions during the 2024 campaign. McAlister and Hoover are expected to be one of the most lethal combinations in the Big 12 Conference this coming year after the team lost key receivers Savion Williams, Jack Bech, and JP Richardson this offseason. The staff looked to the portal to add to the wideout depth, welcoming in Jordan Dwyer (Idaho transfer) and Joseph Manjack (Houston transfer). With Hoover working on chemistry with his new receivers, it should set up McAlister for a fast start to the year, as well as a big season overall. McAlister excels at route-running and has a catch radius that pairs well with Hoover's gunslinger mentality. Read Past Outlooks
