Taye Barber never thought of entering the transfer portal. Not after a 5-7 season in 2019 or during the pandemic-altered season in 2020. Not even after long-time TCU head coach Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs parted ways during the 2021 campaign. Barber, a talented slot receiver set to thrive in new head coach Sonny Dykes’ offensive system, kept his head down and went to work.
“I didn’t see a reason to leave,” Barber said. “I love my brothers here at TCU and the new staff is great. There was unknown here with the new coaching staff, but less than there’d be if I moved to a new school.”
