Boykin Expected Back by May 1 After Wrist Surgery

Friday, April 3

In an effort to ensure that Boykin is completely healthy entering the season, he underwent a successful wrist surgery Thursday that is expected to keep him out for less than a month, according to David Ubben of Fox Sports Southwest:

TCU head coach Gary Patterson doesn't seem concerned about the status of his star quarterback as he downplayed the significance of the surgery, per Ubben.

"Everything is great," Patterson said. "Minor surgery so no worries."

Boykin is coming off a season that saw him throw for over 3,900 yards and 33 touchdowns as the Horned Frogs narrowly missed out on being part of the inaugural College Football Playoff.

TCU has aspirations of playing for a national title this time around, and Boykin's play will almost certainly be the driving force behind whether that happens.
