2026 linebacker Jahiem Porter announced his commitment to Baylor back on Jan. 6 and when he did so, Porter wasn't ranked — at all. But the talented Cedar Park (TX) prospect had a great senior year, and it felt like he was underrecruited and it was possible that Dave Aranda found a diamond in the rough.
The Baylor tight ends room will once again be a strong suit of the Baylor offense. Last season, Michael Trigg was among the best tight ends in the country, with many outlets ranking him as the best.
Baylor not only has a chance to avenge its loss to TCU earlier this season, but the Bears also have a chance to get on track on Saturday. The Horned Frogs come to Waco, and it's the first of four games Baylor has a real chance of winning.
The 2020-21 season for Baylor’s men’s basketball team was one for the ages. Literally. They won their first national championship with an 86-70 victory over Gonzaga.

Start planning your tailgates now! The Big 12 conference has released its schedule for all of their teams, and that of course, includes the Baylor Bears.
Baylor’s going to be looking for a new kicker this offseason, as Connor Hawkins has officially entered the transfer portal. The redshirt sophomore was steady all year and quietly one of the most consistent players on the roster, so this isn’t a headline grabber, but it’s still a real loss.

Baylor has added another body up front with the signing of South Carolina transfer Zavion Hardy. The former No. 1 JUCO prospect in the 2025 class played in just one game this season and didn’t record any stats, but the Bears are clearly betting on what he could become, not what he’s done so far.
Although the NCAA has granted four years of college eligibility to 2023 second-round pick James Nnaji, who recently enrolled at Baylor, players who have signed NBA contracts will remain ineligible to play college basketball.
