TCU Football: Player Spotlight Drake Dabney
Story by JD Andress
It is a tough task for anyone to be asked to replicate what fourth-round pick Jared Wiley did for the TCU Horned Frogs last season. Wiley finished the 2023 season with 47 receptions, 520 yards, and eight touchdowns, averaging 11.7 yards per reception. Was the safety blanket for quarterback Josh Hoover to end the season and the dynamic play-maker the Frogs needed in the middle of the field, so where will the Frogs find that production this season?
The answer is simple, meet Drake Dabney.
Dabney transfers into the TCU from Baylor, and Frog fans may remember him from this past season when the two rivals played, finishing the game with four catches for 77 yards. Dabney also had the greatest season by a tight end in Baylor history during the 2023 campaign, setting the school record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end with 552, and had the first 100-yard game by a Bear since 1964. He finished the season with a team-high five touchdown passes and was the lone bright spot on a Baylor offense that was at the bottom of the conference.
