TCU football: 3 transfer portal players Horned Frogs must get
With some key players set to leave, here are three players TCU football must target in the college football transfer portal for 2023.
TCU football had perhaps one of the most surprising seasons in recent years. After starting the year unranked, the team went undefeated in the regular season, placing itself as a College Football Playoff contender. Even with a loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game, TCU made it to the CFP at No. 3.
While most eyes are on the TCU Horned Frogs’ semifinal game versus No. 2 Michigan on New Year’s eve, their preparation for the 2023 season has already started as well. On December 5th, the transfer portal opened, bringing some interesting names to the mix.
Following its impressive 2022 campaign, TCU should take a hard hit with many players declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft. That makes the transfer portal even more crucial for the Horned Frogs as they need to find some replacements.
With that being said, here are three players TCU football must target in the transfer portal for the 2023 season.
3. Jeremiah Byers – UTEP, OT
One of the areas that the Horned Frogs could improve next year is the offensive line. While it did have its moments in 2022, it also revealed some problems.
TCU football allowed 23 sacks, leaving the team out of the top 50 in the nation behind teams such as Vanderbilt and South Florida. With some names leaving next season, the Horned Frogs might need to scout the transfer market to find their o-line for the future.
An interesting name is UTEP’s Jeremiah Byers. The offensive tackle was a three-star recruit out of high school and started in all 12 games this season. He helped the Miners rush for 167 yards per game, the fifth-best in Conference USA. UTEP had two players with 700-plus rushing yards and scored 14 touchdowns on the ground as a team.
Adding Byers could instantly help the TCU Horned Frogs and improve its offensive line. Also, he would continue in Texas, which could help in his adaptation process.
2. Travis Hunter – Jackson State, CB/WR
Other areas that the Horned Frogs would appreciate a new addition would be the secondary and the receiving group. Luckily for them, there is one name that should be a game-changer if he commits to TCU.
Former five-star recruit Travis Hunter made a shocking decision in committing to an FCS school, even with offers from powerhouses such as Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and Michigan.
