One of TCU’s most dominant interior linemen ever now has an NFL home. Ross Blacklock has been drafted by the Houston Texans in the second round, with the 40th overall pick. Blacklock is the third Horned Frog off the board in this year’s draft.
Blacklock returned in 2019 after missing all of 2018 with an Achilles injury, recording nine tackles for loss and three and a half sacks, despite facing double teams the majority of the time.
An athletic freak, Blacklock has elite bloodlines; as has been well-reported, his father is a former Harlem Globetrotter and coach, a Hall of Honor member at UT.
