TCU coach Gary Patterson always told Garret Wallow he’d be a linebacker one day.
Wallow, the No. 3-ranked safety in Louisiana coming out of John Curtis Christian School in the New Orleans area, thought Patterson was messing around. But Patterson wasn’t.
Wallow has made the transition from safety to linebacker as a sophomore, and the early signs indicate Wallow is on his way to becoming another position-switch success story for Patterson.
Wallow had an impressive debut at linebacker against Southern Saturday. He had four tackles, one sack, 1.5 tackles for loss and a QB hurry in TCU’s 55-7 season-opening victory.
