Former 5-star Alabama OT Tommy Brockermeyer predicted to transfer to TCU​

Former five-star and Alabama offensive tackle Tommy Brockermeyer recently announced that he was entering the transfer portal. On Thursday, TCU Insider Jeremy Clark placed a crystal ball prediction for him to land at TCU.

This comes as somewhat of a surprise considering he and his brother (James) are Texas legacies. His father, Blake, played offensive tackle for the Longhorns. His older brother, Luke, played linebacker for the Longhorns.

He is no longer a five-star because he is nagged by being hurt or injured and is thus not good enough to play at Alabama. Durability is more important than ability and so far Brockermeyer is an example of that.

LOL at anyone who gets worked up over this. What the hell difference does it make whether he is called a "former" or not? Once a kid gets on campus it is irrelevant anyway. Remember that "5-star" RB that transferred in from Michigan a few years back? Was he a 5-star or a former 5-star? Did it matter?

I assume Brockermeyer has quite a bit of raw talent and fits the stereotype of a great O-lineman based on his recruiting ranking. Time will tell whether he becomes one, I guess he hasn't really proven it yet on the college level, but I wouldn't bet against it.

The only recruits in transfer portal who should be highly ranked are kids who showed it on the field. Brockermeyer barley touched the field in two years. it was written that he had multiple injuries so that may be part of it but he was pushed down the depth chart. Here's to hoping he comes here, stays healthy, and turns it around.

Stars are only for recruits and what is believed to be on-field performance at the collegiate level before it has been proven, correct? I take "former 5 star" as he is no longer a recruit. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't keep up with star ratings so much and I don't recall current players being referred to as "he's a 3 star player this year" or anything like that.

joke wtf GIF


Starsies are silly, especially at the high school level. It’s just something to get clicks

I am surprised they haven’t come out with new starsies for transfers though.

partly, believe one other component of the rating is how the prospect projects to the nfl which i have always found a bit laughable, heck the nfl struggles to get that right

this places a value on physical attributes such as height and weight as well as others

they have, go to the transfer portal on 247 and you will find the new ratings for transfer prospects

blake is rated a 3-star transfer prospect and jojo earle is rated a 4-star transfer prospect which is interesting as earle has had limited production at bama over 2-years, guess for different reasons

thought is tcu and if sonny and the staff want him great.

he tore up mercer as a frosh and hasn't done much otherwise, don't know the why and as i said if they want him great, just find the hype on some transfers interesting

My son’s team played against him, so that’s the source of my interest.

Two of my former flag football players are being recruited by TCU. If they get stars I’m putting “Volunteer Football Coach of X & Y star rated players” on my LinkedIn

Not sure this is directed at me, but, to be clear: I am not "worked up" about this. I don't follow recruiting at all except for what I can glean from this site on threads that haven't yet gone above single-digits of pages. I don't care until they hit the field on gameday, and I judge players exclusively from what they do at that point.

I do, however, love to take cheap shots at Aggy (especially if I can use a gif). Aggy is the gif that keeps on giffing. (SWIDT?)
