A couple of former MacArthur players helped TCU's run to Rose Bowl Champions
Ed Wesley, a 200-pound third-year sophomore, rushed for a team-best 1,065 yards and scored 11 touchdowns for a TCU offense that averaged 43.3 points a game this season.
Along with Wesley, TCU features a running back rotation that also includes sophomore Matthew Tucker and freshman Waymon James.
In the Rose Bowl, Wesley had a 33 yard reception and rushed four times for 13 yards. It was a tough game against a stingy Badget defense.
Senior Josh Vernon was the starting right guard for the Horned Frogs this season. Vernon was instrumental in protecting quarterback Andy Dalton.
Out of MacArthur high school, Vernon was the 2nd commitment of the 2006 recruiting class for the TCU football team.
Wesley rushed for 1,309 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior at Mac, graduating in 2008.
TCU defeated Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
