Baylor Football Lands Eight Recruits in One Week
Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears have been getting busy for the last week, and the football program has eight new Bears to show for it.
After a lull in the recruiting game, the team has skyrocketed to a tie for No. 1 in the nation in the number of recruits committed for the 2023 class — right along with Joey McGuire's Texas Tech team. With this influx, Baylor has moved into the top-15 in 247's rankings for recruiting in 2023. The Bears cannot be stopped.
In just the last seven days, the Bears have collected commitments from four-star cornerback Tay'Shawn Wilson, three-star defensive tackle Jaren Woods, three-star athlete Bryson Washington — who flipped his commitment from SMU — three-star defensive tackle DK Kalu, three-star offensive lineman Sean Thompkins from Georgia, three-star safety DJ Coleman and more.
Now, that's an alphabet soup of names, and those names were dropped in the Baylor hat all within the span of a week. With Austin Novosad in the mix — and still committed despite offers from Ohio State and Texas A&M — Baylor has two four-stars and 16 three-stars in the mix for 2023.
That group is also good enough for the most in Texas.
Of course, a large number of recruits does not ensure a great class, but Aranda is building with a strategy. The rich have gotten richer, and the future of Baylor football under Aranda has started to take shape. Buckle up for one of the better classes in Baylor history.
