TCU football landed a big-time graduate transfer on Friday afternoon.

Memphis left tackle Obinna Eze announced his intentions to join the Horned Frogs in a social media post, writing: “I’ll be continuing my career at TCU and I’m excited for new opportunities.”

Eze has started 25 straight games at left tackle for Memphis. He graduated in December and has two years of eligibility remaining.

TCU could have a void to fill at that spot depending on whether T.J. Storment returns next season. As of now, it’s unclear if Storment will return. Storment is expected to make a decision in the coming days.

Either way, TCU wouldn’t have passed on a player such as Eze. At 6-foot-8, 315 pounds, Eze has the size and ability to potentially become a plug-and-play starter for TCU.
