Move to Big 12 has helped TCU on the recruiting trail

When Trevone Boykin stepped on campus at TCU, he was a two-star signee and the lowest-rated Horned Frog who put pen to paper in the Class of 2011.

We all know how that turned out.

Boykin became one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, combining unreal open-field running skills with passing prowess that filled Big 12 defensive coordinators with unease. The 2014 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year is a great example of TCU’s ability to evaluate and develop recruits into stars. But Boykin was a member of the last class to sign with TCU before it was part of the Big 12.
