Record-setting linebacker earns TCU's team MVP award | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Travin Howard was named TCU football's Dan Rogers Most Valuable Player during the team's Thursday awards banquet at Schollmaier Arena.

Howard is the first linebacker to earn the award, which is voted on by teammates, since LaMarcus McDonald in 2002. He was also named the team's 2017 Defensive MVP for the third consecutive season.

Howard is the first player in TCU history to record three consecutive 100-tackle seasons and lead the team in three consecutive seasons. His 108 tackles ranked third in the Big 12 despite missing two games with an injury.
