Head coach Jamie Dixon and the TCU Horned Frogs made a major addition to the frontcourt Monday, gaining a commitment from West Virginia freshman transfer forward DJ Thomas. The 6-foot-9 forward, who played his high school basketball in Allen, Texas, averaged 6.6 points and 2.1 rebounds per game during the 2025-26 season and played in 38 games. Thomas will arrive in Fort Worth with three years of eligibility remaining.
Thomas shot 49.5% from the field during his lone season with the Mountaineers. A top bench player for West Virginia, Thomas averaged 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists as a senior at Allen High, earning UIL 6A All-Region honors while helping his team to the Class 6A Division I semifinals. As a junior, he averaged 10.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, helping Allen to a 32-win season and top five 6A ranking in the state. A three-star recruit out of high school, Allen signed with West Virginia over North Texas, UTSA and more.
