Prior to the 2021 NFL Draft, we wrote that TCU linebacker Garret Wallow’s best fit with an NFL team could be as an inside linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme. Wallow will instead find himself lining up in new defensive coordinator Lovie Smith’s 4-3 scheme after being selected by the Houston Texans as the No. 170 overall pick in the fifth round of the draft earlier this month.
Wallow is the second Horned Frog defender drafted to the Texans in as many years, joining former TCU standout defensive tackle and second-round draft pick Ross Blacklock.
