  Going into last season, Baylor's defensive line was a big question mark. But as the season unfolded, the big men up front became a more impactful force. Most of the key linemen are back this season, and there's enough veterans to give the Bears the depth they need to stay fresh against the Big 12's warp speed offenses. It all starts with the biggest man on the team. The 6-4, 350-pound Ika often occupied two blockers, allowing his teammates open lanes to make tackles. "Obviously, if you're big up front in the middle, like the core of your defense, you can't be single-blocked," said Baylor defensive line coach Dennis Johnson. "That allows those guys who are skilled - and they're big, too, but they're probably a little bit more skilled in speed - to get one-on-one blocks. Last season, we saw a lot of guys doubling inside, and it allowed us to get some free one-on-ones outside." The addition of former Midway star Jaxon Player gives the Bears another experienced big man up front.

The 6-0, 294-pound Player is coming off a second-team all-American Athletic Conference season for Tulsa as he collected 49 tackles with 14 for loss and four sacks in 13 games in 2021. As a junior in 2020, Player was a first-team all-AAC selection as he finished with 37 tackles with 9.5 for loss and three sacks in nine games. As a sophomore in 2019, Player collected 35 tackles with seven for loss in nine games. "I wanted to come in and get coached hard and learn the techniques, and get better at my craft and being part of something special," Player said. "My journey was a little difficult at the beginning, but now that I've learned the defense, I know it kind of well." - Waco Tribune Herald
