Former TCU offensive lineman John Lanz spent six years with the football program.

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.

53 – John Lanz (Offensive Lineman – 2018-23)

Despite injuries keeping him off the football field over his first two years in Fort Worth, Lanz became a versatile asset for the TCU offensive line, earning starts at left guard and center throughout his six years as a Horned Frog. The Argyle, Texas native played in 41 games and started all 12 games at center during his sixth-year senior season in 2023. Lanz, who placed second on the team in snaps with 926 in 2023, earned starts at left guard over the 2020 and 2021 campaigns. Lanz earned Academic All-Big 12 honors three times and was a First-Team Academic All-Big 12 honoree in 2023.
