Football: Harvard transfer QB Jaden Craig commits to TCU

Story byAnthony NorthMon, January 5, 2026 at 2:30 AM UTC·2 min readTCU Football will have a new leader of the offense behind center this season after the departure of Josh Hoover into the transfer portal. Among all the talented signal callers to enter the portal this offseason, the Horned Frogs staff had their eyes locked onto one primary target: Harvard quarterback Jaden Craig. Following a visit to Fort Worth scheduled as soon as the transfer window opened, it was confirmed on Sunday evening that Craig had committed to TCU for his final collegiate season. Craig spent four seasons at Harvard, including a redshirt freshman season, shattering the Crimson record books during his 28 games on the field.

Key Highlights

  • The 6-foot-3, 230-pound New Jersey native had the most prolific season in Harvard history in 2025, setting program single-season records for completions (208), touchdown passes (25), and passing yards (2,869) as he led the Crimson to its first ever appearance in the FCS Playoffs.
  • Craig helped Harvard to three consecutive Ivy co-Championships, earning All-Ivy honors in 2024 (2nd Team) & 2025 (1st Team) while setting program career records for touchdown passes (52), pass yards (6,074).
  • Craig also provides a threat on the ground in short yardage, adding 11 rushing touchdowns to his stat sheet.
  • Craig proved to be particularly adept at protecting the football, giving away just 12 interceptions across 714 career attempts (1.68% interception rate); his Horned Frogs predecessor tossed 33 interceptions on 1,183 attempts (2.79% INT rate).
  • Craig was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award for top offensive player in FCS and had been gathering some NFL Draft buzz before declaring for the transfer portal rather than jump to the professional ranks. TCU adds the former Harvard QB to a quarterback room that will be without longtime starter Josh Hoover and veteran presence Ken Seals, but it is no certainty that Jaden Craig will be taking the first snaps when the Horned Frogs open the season in Dublin vs.
