TCU signed 23 players on Wednesday and, according to the ESPN.com rankings, are sitting at No. 24 in the country.

Two late commitments made helped that ranking as safety Jordan Moore, the No. 15 safety in the ESPN.com rankings, chose TCU over Auburn on Tuesday night. Then early Wednesday morning, Terrell Lathan, a defensive end from Louisiana, chose TCU over Louisiana Tech in a surprise announcement.

TCU had five four-star ESPN signees and defensive end Devonte Fields from Arlington Martin was No. 73 in the ESPNU 150.
