TCU freshman quarterback Hauss Hejny didn’t experience a ton of adversity during his playing days at nearby Aledo High School.

While winning 30 straight games and back-to-back 5A-Division II state championships in Texas is far from easy, what Hejny has had to experience during spring football camp with the Horned Frogs has been a much more difficult task.

A back injury to starting quarterback Josh Hoover thrust Hejny into the role of the second-team quarterback, but it wasn’t just Hoover that got hurt. Many of the scholarship wide receivers like Dylan Wright, JoJo Earle, Chase Jackson and more have missed most or all of training camp leaving Hejny to work with a lot of walk-on receivers.

There’s been some growing pains, but for Hejny he’s making the best of it and knows that going through some growing pains is crucial for development at this stage of his career. “We’ve had a lot of walk-ons step up at receiver, we’ve had a lot of injuries this spring,” Hejny said. “It’s allowed our offense to face some adversity you normally wouldn’t face. We’ve had a lot of big-time receivers that can run down the field get hurt, so we’ve had to change up our scheme and learn from things.

“It’s been good for us, especially for me knowing who to get the ball and knowing who to trust out there.”
