TCU wide receiver Jordan Dwyer could make his 2026 debut Sept. 26, when the Horned Frogs open Big 12 play against UCF. Dwyer has missed the team’s first three games because of a foot injury, and his availability remains unconfirmed beyond coach Sonny Dykes’ update.

Dykes said he expects Dwyer to play in the next game after TCU’s 31-7 victory over Arkansas State. He added that the receiver’s return would give the team a lift. TCU enters conference competition with a 2-1 record.

Dwyer transferred to TCU from Idaho and was among the Horned Frogs’ most productive offensive players in 2025. He started every regular-season game, recording 54 catches, 730 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. In his first game for TCU, against North Carolina, he had nine receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown.

With Dwyer sidelined, Ed Small has emerged as one of TCU’s leading receivers. Tight end Kari Ashley also contributed against Arkansas State, giving quarterback Jaden Craig multiple options during the opening games.
