Why son of former NFL quarterback and winner of Davey O’Brien Award committed to TCU

By Drew Davison

Owen Blackledge enjoyed being home-schooled until high school.

The best part?

“During my recesses, I’d always ask my dad if we could go hit batting practice,” Blackledge said. “He’d say, ‘All right, we can go hit.’ We would go hit for 30 minutes every day. That played a big role in my love for baseball.”

Blackledge hasn’t stopped hitting or loving the game since. The 17-year-old from Canton, Ohio will bring his passion -- and bat -- to TCU in a couple years. He committed to the Frogs earlier this week as a 2021 prospect.

Sounds like Frogs have a fine young man coming in from a great family atmosphere.
This young man got some truly outstanding advise from his dad-- the kind that really helps him grow.
Thank you Todd Blackledge for giving your son the tools, and for letting him decide his destination.

That's great. I enjoyed hearing his father's food reports during the college football season. Hopefully, the son is a chip off the old block. Welcome to the TCU family.
