The TCU Horned Frogs are less than 100 days from kicking off the 2025 football season with a nonconference road matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels and new head coach Bill Belichick. As we count down the days until kickoff, we’ll highlight a former (or current) Horned Frog whose jersey number represents the number of days left until the opener.

63 - Hal Lambert (Lineman - 1950-53)​

Lambert helped the Horned Frogs win the Southwest Conference Championship in 1951 and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 69 overall choice during the 1954 NFL Draft. Lambert spent four years with the TCUfootball program, lettering in three seasons (1951, 1952 and 1953). Lambert was selected in the sixth round of the 1954 draft.
