Former Aledo Bearcats quarterback Hauss Hejny is leaving TCU and entering the transfer portal, numerous sources are reporting. The true freshman saw limited playing this season behind starting quarterback Josh Hoover, a redshirt freshman who plans to return to the program next season.
Hejny, who originally committed to Duke in high school, switched his choice to TCU to follow in the footsteps of his parents, who were both athletes at the school. His father played as a defensive lineman in the early 2000s and his mother played basketball.
Hejny played in four games for the Horned Frogs (8-4) this season, with TCU winning all four contests. While he did not throw a pass, he rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries.
His best outing was in a 20-13 win at Cincinnati. He carried eight times for 48 yards to help seal the victory.
At Aledo, Hejny led the Bearcats to back-to-back Class 5A Division I state championships in 2022 and 2023. Under his leadership the Bearcats were 30-2 in that span, which included a 30-game winning streak.
Hejny was considered one of the top 12 quarterbacks in the nation upon graduation from Aledo. He is not expected to play for TCU against Louisiana (10-3) Dec. 28 at 1:15 p.m.
While Hejny is exiting, another former Bearcat is coming to the Horned Frogs. Defensive lineman Ansel Din-Mbuh is transferring from Washington State to TCU after two seasons playing for the Cougars.
Din-Mbuh was a senior on the 2022 state champion Aledo Bearcats.
Din-Mbuh recorded 26 tackles in two seasons in Pullman, Washington. As a sophomore this season he posted 24 tackles with seven for a loss and six sacks - including a three-sack outing in a 29-26 win at San Diego State.
The Cougars (8-4) are scheduled to play Syracuse (9-3) in the Holiday Bowl without Din-Mbuh on Dec. 27 at 7 p.m.
