TCU is set to get back one of its most important pieces, as the Horned Frogs are expected to add Jordan Dwyer back to the lineup for the first time this year against UCF on Saturday.
TCU is beginning its venture into the Big 12 this season and the Horned Frogs are expected to get a major contributor back in time for the conference opener.
According to latest reports coming out of Fort Worth, wide receiver Jordan Dwyer is anticipated to suit up for TCU for the first time this season after dealing with a foot injury throughout the past three weeks.
For a Horned Frogs offense finally appearing to find its rhythm with quarterback Jaden Craig, it is a huge get for not only for the veteran passer but the entirety of TCU.
Despite being down one of his top targets in Dwyer, Craig has racked up over 900 yards in his first three outings as a Horned Frog and leads the conference in the metric.
Dwyer is arguably the best pass catcher in the TCU rotation and opens up a potentially lethal option for the Horned Frogs as their schedule begins to ramp up, as well.
Last season in Fort Worth, Dwyer ignited for 730 yards and seven touchdowns on 54 catches for the Horned Frogs.
Since dropping its season opener in Dublin to Bill Belichick and North Carolina, TCU has flipped the script and rattled off two convincing wins over Grambling State and Arkansas State to round out non-conference play.
Much of that turnaround was due to the aforementioned resurgence of Craig and also a surprisingly potent defense from the Horned Frogs.
TCU has yet to face a challenge similar to the Tar Heels since that season opening disappointment, but that is set to change as early as this Saturday with Big 12 play on the horizon.
For a team still looking to cement its identity in an season mired with uncertainty, Dwyer brings a reliable and consistent presence to the lineup that could prove invaluable as the conference slate rolls along.
It all begins this weekend when TCU takes part in its first Big 12 matchup of the season in uncharted territory.
TCU makes its first-ever trip to Orlando on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. to do battle with UCF.
The Horned Frogs will look to take full advantage of the presence of Dwyer against the Knights in the pivotal Big 12 opener for both squads.
