Needing immediate experience in the middle tier of its defense, Baylor added the commitment of Liberty Linebacker Mike Smith on Tuesday.
Smith was the leading tackler for the Flames in 2023 with 85 including 10 TFL. He also collected one interception and forced three fumbles.
Likely one to take a spot in the middle vacated by Dillon Doyle, Baylor's linebacker lose Doyle and Bryson Jackson among others.
A redshirt senior in 2023, Smith spent only the 2022 season with the Flames. He transferred in from Mississippi Gulf College. Smith played two seasons at that JUCO.
There he was also productive. Had recorded 248 tackles (151 solo, 97 assisted), 19.0 tackles for a loss, 7.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions during three seasons at Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Baylor is up to six transfers between Smith, BYU offensive linemen Clark and Caleb Barrington, Arkansas wide receiver Ketron Smith, Oklahoma State running back Dominic Richardson, Michigan State PK Jack Stone (walk on) and North Texas tight end Jake Roberts.
Dave Aranda's program is still in search of solving its quarterback needs before the spring semester begins next Tuesday.
