Former TCU Football Stars Howard, Noteboom Become "Super Frogs"
Former TCU linebacker Travin Howard and former TCU offensive lineman
Joe Noteboom of the Los Angeles Rams became the latest Horned Frogs to
be Super Bowl Champions after the Rams' 23-20 win over the Cincinnati
Bengals in Super Bowl LVI, on February 13.
Twenty-two
Horned Frogs have won Super Bowl championship rings. Eleven different
TCU players have been on Super Bowl winning teams in the last 16
seasons.
Howard and
Noteboom made it eight of the last nine years for a Horned Frog to be on
a Super Bowl team. They both were selected by the Rams in the 2018 NFL
Draft and made their second Super Bowl trip with the club.
Howard
had the game-saving interception with just over a minute remaining in
the Rams' 20-17 win over San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game. He
added two tackles in the game, including one for loss. He made two
starts and totaled 18 tackles on the season.
Howard was a two-time
First-Team All-Big 12 selection at TCU and Honorable-Mention Big 12
Defensive Player of the Year. He was also named the Valero Alamo Bowl
Defensive Most Valuable Player twice in three years. His 108 tackles as a
senior made him the first player in TCU history to lead the team in
that category in three straight years and to record three consecutive
100-stop seasons. He totaled 343 tackles as a Horned Frog.
Noteboom
made two starts while appearing in 15 games for the Rams this season
and has 17 career starts. Noteboom started all 40 games his final three
seasons at TCU and was Honorable-Mention All-Big 12 in 2017. The Plano,
Texas, native played his senior year as a graduate student and was a
four-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree.
