Jon Denman News, Rumors, Updates - TCU Horned Frogs

Won't play Friday Denman (undisclosed) will be unavailable for Friday's matchup versus Arizona, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Denman is set to sit out his second contest of the season due to an undisclosed injury. The running back logged just three carries for 10 yards against Kansas last week, indicating he potentially suffered the injury during that matchup. Joseph Hagman and Landon Walker are candidates in the backfield who could fill his role during his absence.

Steps into the spotlight Denman notched 15 rushes for 58 yards and caught 1 of 4 targets for 15 yards during Saturday's 24-20 loss versus West Virginia.

Impact Denman drew the start and handled the bulk of TCU's rushing workload with Jeremy Payne unavailable due to an undisclosed injury. While the production wasn't spectacular, the workload was noteworthy. Denman finished with the most carries among TCU running backs. The bigger question moving forward is what happens if Payne returns. Denman did enough to keep himself in the conversation for touches, but Payne's status will likely determine whether this was a one-week opportunity or the beginning of a more meaningful role in the Horned Frogs' backfield.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available vs. UCF Denman (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against UCF, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Denman has seemingly recovered from an undisclosed injury and will take the field for the Horned Frogs on Saturday. The running back should be involved in the backfield after combining for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 14 attempts through the team's first two games.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable for Week 4 Denman (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against UCF.

Impact Denman was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but the bump in status to probable suggests the tailback should be available and handle his regular workload this weekend. Denman has 14 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns in two games in 2026.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 4 Denman (undisclosed) is listed as questionable prior to Saturday's matchup against UCF.

Impact After missing last week's game due to an undisclosed injury, Denman's status for Saturday's game is in question. The running back has attempted 14 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns this season.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Held out due to small injury Denman (undisclosed) had a small injury and was held out in Saturday's 31-7 win over Arkansas State out of precaution, Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Denman missed his first game of the season as the Horned Frogs steamrolled the Red Wolves. The sophomore running back is expected to be available this Saturday at UCF, so his injury doesn't look to be too serious. He's logged 14 rushes for 60 yards and two touchdowns so far this campaign.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Cashes in near the goal line Denman tallied six rushes for 41 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-7 win against Grambling State.

Impact Denman found the endzone on a one-yard touchdown run. The score was encouraging as it was second in a row, but TCU spread carries and touchdowns across multiple backs in a game that got out of hand quickly. For now, Denman appears to be part of a committee behind lead back Jeremy Payne.

Finds the end zone early Denman logged eight carries for 19 yards and one touchdown and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 15-10 defeat versus North Carolina.

Impact Denman supplied TCU's lone touchdown, punching in a red zone carry during the first carry. Unfortunately for the Horned Frogs, that ended up being their only trip to the end zone as the offense went cold for the final three quarters. Starting RB Jeremy Payne served as a workhorse back with 25 carries for 142 yards and five catches on five targets. Denman will likely continue in a reserve role as Payne appears to be the center of TCU's offense this season. TCU will be on a bye next week before hosting Grambling State.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks plane in bowl win Denman posted six rushes for 31 yards and one touchdown and caught 2 of 3 targets for four yards during Tuesday's 30-27 overtime victory versus USC.

Impact Denman continued to see playing time late in his true freshman season, and against the Trojans in the Alamo Bowl, the tailback scored the third touchdown of his career. Denman finishes the 2025 season with 178 rushing yards and three scores, along with three catches for six yards. He figures to remain a factor in the Horned Frogs' backfield in 2026 if he stays in Fort Worth.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Double-digit carries once again Denman tallied 10 carries for 29 yards during Saturday's 45-23 win versus Cincinnati.

Impact Denman recorded double-digit carries for the second straight game. While the volume was there over the last two games, he's averaging just 3.1 YPC over that stretch. Meanwhile, teammate Jeremy Payne has been unstoppable and has gone for over 100-yards rushing in two straight games. TCU will play in a bowl game.

On the season, Denman has rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries. TCU will end the regular season with Cincinnati.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs TD against BYU Denman notched seven carries for 45 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-13 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact Denman, a true freshman, logged his second touchdown of the year in the lopsided loss to BYU. In fact, Denman was the only Horned Frog to score a touchdown on the night. With TCU falling out of the Big 12 title race, it's entirely possible they start to see what they have with some of the younger players on their roster. TCU will play at Houston next week.
