Hicks, the 23rd-ranked running back in the country, was the Horned Frogs' lone four-star. Thirteen other signees were ranked nationally at their respective positions, including Charlie Reid (No. 17 tight end), Allen (No. 18 dual-threat quarterback) and Paul Whitmill (No. 26 outside linebacker).
Of the 22 players who signed, 17 were three-stars, two were two stars and one -- late JUCO commit Mike Tuaua -- was unranked.
Still, Tuaua, at 6-foot-2, 260 pounds, provides the Frogs with a Big 12-ready contributor at defensive end. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Bryson Burtnett and Eason Fromayan were TCU's other two early enrollees.
