Baylor is set for its second official visitors weekend for the 2024 recruiting class. It’s been a flurry of activity since this past Friday.
On Tuesday, the Bears added to their class with the addition of Arlington Bowie safety Kris Wokomah. That brings the total number of pledges in this class to seven. Wokomah is scheduled to take his OV to Baylor June 23-25.
Baylor’s set number is an unknown given the program’s attention to the NCAA transfer portal. However, an educated guess probably puts the number at about 15.
Here’s a look at the visitors who start their visits on Friday. Traditionally, recruits do not commit following their visits. Never say never but given the non-commits who are arriving along with their recruiting nuggets, it doesn't appear Baylor is in line to lock anyone down.
This weekend has a heavy defensive look to it.
Remember him? He was the first commit of the class way back in 2022. And while hie commitment has remained with the Bears, it also has been weird in a hard to describe sense. Lorena is so close to Waco that he shared with us that he could not make the Green & Gold game because of 7 on 7 commitments. He did come to the Jan. 30 Junior Day.
It’s his birthday weekend. A pretty good weekend to celebrate it. Jackson is the highest rated player in this class and earned his fourth star in the previous Rivals rating period. Everything between Jackson and the staff has been solid to this point.
Baylor’s search for a quality running back continues. Dodds has quality P5 offers from Stanford, Texas Tech, Missouri and Cal. This has been a pretty busy OV month for him. He took his OV to Lubbock June 2-4 followed by Missouri June 9-11. Now, the Bears get their turn. Dodds rushed for 1,633 yards and 12 TDs in 2022.
This defensive tackle has been blowing up since the May evaluation period. He took an OV to SMU on June 9, then TCU midweek this week June 13. After this OV to Baylor, he visits Kansas June 23. As odd as it may sound, SMU could be the team to beat here given the fact the Mustangs were on him earlier than everyone else. Time will tell. He is scheduled to announce his commitment decision Aug. 20.
Baylor is definitely in this race for the Georgia LB. It appears the Bears are the top three contenders along with North Carolina and Wake Forest. Woods took his OV to Wake Forest June 9. After this trip to Texas, he visits Chapel Hill, NC next week.
Another one of the Baylor coaching connections in Utah that led to this. Tate visited Baylor for the Spring Game on April 22. Now, he takes in the entire campus with this official visit. He is scheduled to visit Oklahoma State next week. Don’t worry about his academics. Several Ivy League schools have offered.
The projected defensive end comes to see dad and his work buddies this weekend. That could always change. However, Baylor really needs to add some defensive linemen for this class given that they don’t have any other commitments in that position besides Grimes. Baylor is losing Gabe Hall, Byron Vaughns and TJ Franklin after the 2023 season.
