Baylor welcomes 15 new members of its 2023 roster on Saturday. There are 12 members of 2023 high school/JUCO signing class and three via the transfer portal.
Back in January, the program welcomed 18, 10 high school and eight transfers.
Consider that on a scholarship roster of 85, Baylor is adding 33 new players. That’s nearly 40 percent of the roster.
Of the recruits SicEmSports contacted, none have indicated any academic issues that would have delayed their arrival. Of course, that makes sense as they would have had to wait until the second summer session.
The first summer session begins Thursday, June 1. The second summer session begins July 10.
Keep in mind that the high school players’ ability to play immediately has wiggle room. With the rule of being able to compete in up to four games without burning a redshirt, that’s going to depend on their development both on the field and what they accomplish in the strength and conditioning program.
The transfers – OLB/DE Byron Vaughns, DL Treven Ma’ae and DB Ajani Carter – will play immediately.
Here’s a look at the arrivals.
High School (12)
6-4, 270, OL Serra HS, San Mateo, CA
Portal Transfers (3)
Byron Vaughns, OLB/DE, 6-4, 225, Utah State
Treven Ma’ae, DL, 6-5, 270, Oregon
Ajani Carter, DB, 6-0, 195, Utah State
