Locked On Baylor's Top-10 Bear Football Players in 2022
A list of this type is pretty hard to do for a top-10 football team — there are too many stars to accurately rank them 1-10. But Drake and Cameron of Locked On Baylor tackle the challenge with their following rankings.
Drake Cameron
1. Siaki Ika 1. Siaki Ika
2. Connor Galvin 2. Connor Galvin
3. Ben Sims 3. Jaxon Player
4. Dillon Doyle 4. Dillon Doyle
5. Gabe Hall 5. Gabe Hall
6. Issac Power 6. Blake Shapen
7. Jaxon Player 7. Jacob Gall
8. Blake Shapen 8. Al Walcott
9. Christian Morgan 9. Garmon Randolph
10. Jacob Gall 10. Bryson Jackson
The top-2 are objective. Baylor has two players who are preseason all-Americans in Siaki Ika and Connor Galvin, and they are the best two players on the team.
As for the rest of the list, Ben Sims is snubbed from Cameron's rankings, but the veteran will likely be Shapen's favorite target this season.
Speaking of Shapen, it may come as a shock to many that he doesn't crack the top 5 of either list. There is a clear reason why — Shapen dramatically lacks experience compared to the guys in the top 5. He may have a remarkable ceiling, but he still has plenty to prove.
Both Drake and Cameron agreed that Dillon Doyle is a top-5 player. Doyle might just mess around and lead the team in tackles.
Then there's the Issac Power dilemma. Does a punter warrant a spot on this list? Power is elite enough that Drake believes he does. Cameron forgot about him completely.
