Josh Hoover is an American football quarterback for the TCU Horned Frogs.
Early life and high school
Hoover was born in Rockwall, Texas where he attended high school at Rockwall-Heath. Hoover finished his high school career throwing for 9,953 yards and 108 touchdowns in three seasons.[1] Hoover was initially committed to play college football for the Indiana Hoosiers.[2][3] However, he de-committed and changed his commitment to play for the TCU Horned Frogs.[4][5]
College career
In Hoover's first career season in 2022, he would redshirt and only appear in one game completing his only pass attempt for two yards.[6][7] In week six of the 2023 season, Hoover came in to relief for starting quarterback Chandler Morris after he went down with an injury. Hoover completed 11 of his 19 pass attempts for 119 yards and one touchdown, with an interception, but the Horned Frogs lost to Iowa State.[8] In the following week, Hoover made his first career start where he completed 37 out of his 58 passing attempts for 439 yards and four touchdowns, as he led TCU to a rout of BYU winning 44-11.[9]
Personal life
Hoover is a Christian. He has said, “My faith keeps me grounded and gives me comfort that no matter how I perform on Saturday’s, God still loves and cares about me.”[10]
