Casey Pachall (born November 14, 1990) is an American football quarterback. He played college football for the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University.

Early years

Pachall attended Brownwood High School in Brownwood, Texas. He took over the role as Brownwood's quarterback when Shelby Miller suffered a staph infection. When Miller returned, he did so as a wide receiver.[2] As a senior he passed for 2,808 yards with 31 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

College career

After being redshirted as a freshman in 2009, Pachall spent 2010 as Andy Dalton's backup. He appeared in eight games and attempted nine passes with six completions for 78 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 94 yards on 15 attempts with two touchdowns.

In 2011, Pachall took over as the starting quarterback.[3] After seven games, Pachall had completed 131 of 188 passes for 1,566 yards and 17 touchdowns.[4] At that point, his quarterback rating of 165.2 ranked ninth among all NCAA FBS quarterbacks.[5]

He was arrested on Thursday, October 4, 2012, and charged with DWI. At the time, he was suspended indefinitely; playing without Pachall that Saturday, TCU lost its first game of the season, 37–23, to Iowa State. On October 9, TCU announced that Pachall would withdraw from TCU to enter an inpatient rehab facility for substance abuse treatment.[6][7]

Pachall was named TCU's starting quarterback for 2013. He started their opening game against LSU.
