Again, Baylor is pretty much in a secondary market where whoever comes likely is not going to challenge for the starting job. But the candidate will be in position to help with veteran experience. Plus, it could be looking at someone to be the bridge as the staff looks to covet and secure the 2024 QB.

>One who fits that is Texas native in former Texas Tech QB and was at Michigan for the past two years is Alan Bowman who has one year of eligibility remaining. Bowman is visiting Baylor this Friday and Saturday. He's also visiting Texas State (Wednesday and Thursday) and UNT (Saturday pm and Sunday). And the way I understand it, he will given a chance to compete for the starting job. We'll see how that develops.
A decision could come Monday or Tuesday.

Bowman was actually pretty good for the Red Raiders throwing for 2,638 yards, completing 69 percent of his passes for 17 TDs in 2018. Bowman, who played at Grapevine High School, threw for 1,020 yards in 2019 before he got hurt and never played after the first three games. Then he bounced back in 2020 throwing for 1,620 yards and 10 scores. He then went into the portal and ended up in Michigan. We'll see how that goes.

>Baylor probably was never in this. But Virginia QB Brennan Armstrong is taking an official visit to NC State on Wednesday. Indications are he will go there because his former OC Robert Anae at UVA is now in Raleigh.

>Former Rockwall and Mississippi State QB Braedyn Locke has entered the portal and has four years of eligibility remaining. He did not play for the Bulldogs this year. Of course, he came to Starkville, MS because the late Mike Leach was there. Presumably with Leach's unfortunate passing the changes being made on the MSU offensive staff, Locke decided to move on.

(NEW)
>Sawyer Robertson should be visiting Baylor this weekend as well. Former 4-star 2021 QB from Lubbock Coronado who was at Mississippi State. He graduated ranking eighth all time in completions (813), 10th in touchdowns (135) and 13th in yards (11,302) in the state.

Robertson was competing for the starting job against Will Rogers earlier in the spring and fall. However, Rogers kept the job.
