TCU football is moving closer to its 2026 season opener against North Carolina in Dublin, Ireland on Aug. 29. As the Countdown to Kickoff continues, we’ll highlight a former Horned Frog whose jersey number coincided with the days left until the opener. At No. 3 are wide receiver Savion Williams and linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr!
A four-star recruit out of Marshall, Texas, Williams spent five years with the Horned Frogs and finished his career with 1,655 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on 137 receptions. His best season came in 2024, when he brought in a career-high 60 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns while rushing for 322 yards and six more touchdowns out of the “Wildfrog” formation. Williams improved over each of his five seasons at TCU, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions over both the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. He was invited to the Senior Bowl.
Elarms-Orr transferred to TCU after starting his career at California, where he was named an All-Pac 12 Second Team selection. For the Horned Frogs, Elarms-Orr rotated in during the 2024 season and became a starter the following season. In 2025, Elarms-Orr compiled 130 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss and four sacks to earn All-Big 12 First Team consideration. He aided TCU in its New Mexico Bowl win and its Alamo Bowl win last year.

Williams was taken by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, while Elarms-Orr was picked by the Buffalo Bills with a fourth-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. Williams made 10 receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown while rushing 11 times for 37 yards his rookie year. Elarms-Orr made his preseason debut earlier this month and will likely make his regular season debut sometime next month.
