Bryan Applewhite joined the TCU football staff in February 2020.
In his first season with the Horned Frogs, three running backs had 100-yard rushing games. True freshmen Zach Evans (7.7) and Kendre Miller (7.2) had the second- and fifth-best season yards per carry averages in TCU history.
Before coming to the Horned Frogs, Applewhite served the previous five seasons as running backs coach at Colorado State. In February 2018, he was promoted to the additional duties of recruiting coordinator. Two of the Rams’ top-five season marks in total offense and points per game came during his time in Fort Collins.
In his four seasons at CSU the Rams have posted two of the top five scoring marks in school history (3rd—35.3 in 2016 and 5th—33.4 in 2017) and two of the top four marks for total offense, including a school-record 492.5 yards per game in 2017 (also 4th, 462.5 in 2016). Also in that span CSU’s running backs have posted 24 individual 100-yard rushing games.
In 2018, Applewhite’s running backs helped contribute to the 10th-best yards-per-game average in CSU history (410.5). He helped guide senior Izzy Matthews into the top 10 in school history for career rushing yards, finishing 8th with 2,654 yards, and to the No. 4 spot on the all-time rushing touchdowns list (30).
The 2017 Rams also set school records for first downs per game (25.5) and third-down conversions (50.3%). Senior Dalyn Dawkins earned second-team All-Mountain West honors in 2017 with 1,399 yards (fifth on CSU’s single-season list) and finished his career third on CSU’s all-time rushing list (3,185).
