The TCU Horned Frogs received a fairly high-profile addition on Tuesday, as former Florida Gators WR Ja'Juan Story elected to transfer to TCU.

Story, a former four-star recruit who redshirted in 2012, chose TCU over UCF. He will sit out the 2012 season and have three years of eligibility remaining in Fort Worth.

At 6'3, 205, he has great size for a WR, and he's the type of recruit who could make a big impact for the Horned Frogs as they jump from the Mountain West to the Big 12.

The presence of QB Casey Pachall, a 6'5, 225 junior who emerged as a star in his first year filling in for Andy Dalton, may have made Story's decision easier, as he'll have the opportunity to work with an NFL-bound QB for at least one season in Fort Worth.

The move to the Big 12 has clearly lifted TCU's national profile, as Story is the latest former four or five-star recruit to join Gary Patterson's program in the last few months, following RB Aaron Green (Nebraska) and CB David Jenkins (LSU).
