Two former Frogs were selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday as receiver Jalen Reagor and Jeff Gladney each had their names called. It was the first time since 1939 that TCU had multiple players selected in the first round. That year the Frogs had three first rounders; Ki Aldrich, Davey O'Brien and I.B. Hale.

TCU tied Oklahoma for the most players selected in the first round with two. Oklahoma receiver CeeDee Lamb and linebacker Kenneth Murray were also selected in the first round.

Reagor was the first Frog off the board as the Philadelphia Eagles selected the versatile playmaker with the 21st overall pick. Reagor is just the third offensive player from TCU to get selected in the first round since 2001. He joins Doctson and former Frog great LaDainian Tomlinson as first round selections.

Reagor put up huge numbers during his career for the Frogs, finishing his career with 148 receptions for 2,248 yards and 22 touchdowns. His reception mark was good enough for seventh-best in school history while his yardage total ranks sixth-best. His career touchdown receptions ties Josh Boyce for second-best in school history.

As a sophomore Reagor recorded 1,061 yards, which is second-best in school history for a single season. Doctson is the all-time receiving leader. Although Reagor’s numbers dipped to 43 receptions for 611 yards as a junior, he was still named second-team All-Big 12.

Reagor is also a superior return man. He leaves TCU as the career punt return leader, averaging 17.8 yards per return. His 20.8 per return in 2019 was second-best in the nation and earned him places on three All-American teams as a return man.. His career punt return average of 17.8 yards is also a TCU record. In his career Reagor was named all-conference three times and made four All-American teams.

Reagor was the first player in Big 12 history to rush for over 100 yards and haul in at least 90 yards receiving in a single game. He accomplished the feat in the Frogs’ 31-24 win over Oklahoma State.

Gladney was selected late in the first round, selected with the 31st pick by the Minnesota Vikings. Gladney is the first TCU cornerback to get selected in the first round since Jason Verrett was selected by the Chargers in the 2014 draft.

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper praised the pick by the Vikings and says Gladney should be a rookie starter.

"He's a smart football player, he knows how to use his hands and not get penalties. He's smart, he knows how to be physical but not draw penalty flags. I love his savy and I love the fact that he's already a guy coming into the NFL who should be a rookie starter and help that Minnesota secondary," Kiper said.

During his TCU career, Gladney appeared in 50 games in his career, finishing with 146 tackles, 6 tackles for loss and 5 interceptions. His 43 passed defended is among the tops in TCU history.

As a senior in 2019, Gladney tied for second in the Big 12 with 15 passes defended, including a conference-best 14 pass breakups which tied for eighth nationally. He tied for 14th in the country with 1.3 passes defended per game.

In 2018, Gladney was considered one of the top cornerbacks in the Big 12. Pro Football Focus rated him No. 1 in the Big 12 in lowest passer rating allowed (46.9) with a minimum of 200 coverage snaps and he also ranked No. 1 in the conference in only surrendering a reception every 16.5 coverage snaps. In games versus some of the nation’s elite receivers, Gladney played his best, limiting star receivers to less than 3 catches.

Gladney had two interceptions in 2017, including a 94-yard return for a score in the Frogs’ 27-3 win on the road over Texas Tech.

Gladney was named All-Big 12 three times in his career, including first-team honors in 2019. He also earned second-team All-American honors by FWAA and Phil Steele as a senior.
