  06/19/20 - Dillon Doyle, rSr/2023, Baylor, 6-3, 238 (DS#19 ILB) + More +

  Former Iowa sophomore linebacker Dillon Doyle announced Thursday that he's transferring to Baylor. Doyle is the son of former Iowa strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, who reached a separation agreement with Iowa on Monday after allegations from former players that he had made racial comments to them. Dillon Doyle announced his decision to transfer to Baylor on Twitter. He will have to redshirt in 2020 under NCAA transfer rules unless he can obtain a waiver from the NCAA. "Baylor provides a special situation to be part of a culture with world-class people and coaches every day, and I can't wait to get started," Doyle said. Doyle played in all 13 games for the Hawkeyes in 2019 with three starts, finishing with 23 tackles. He played in four games in 2018, mostly on special teams with two tackles.

The 6-3, 237-pound Doyle was a finalist for Iowa high school football Gatorade player of the year at Iowa City in 2017 after he recorded 73 tackles with 12 for loss while also making 19 catches for 242 yards and four touchdowns. Doyle is the second transfer linebacker for Baylor since the campus was shut down in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Arkansas State graduate transfer William Bradley-King announced in April that he's transferring to Baylor and will be immediately eligible in 2020. - Waco Tribune

  Former Iowa linebacker Dillon Doyle has found his new college home in Waco, Texas. Doyle announced his commitment to Baylor via Twitter on Thursday. "I want to thank everyone that has SUPPORTED me throughout my recruitment," Dillon Doyle wrote in his tweet. "Baylor provides a SPECIAL situation to be part of a CULTURE with world-class PEOPLE and COACHES every day, and I CAN'T WAIT to get started."

Doyle is the son of former Hawkeye strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle who reached a separation agreement earlier this week with the university after Black former football players alleged he fostered a culture of racial bias and bullying. Dillon Doyle announced he was entering the NCAA transfer portal on June 9, three days after Chris Doyle was placed on paid administrative leave by Iowa. A three-star 2018 prospect out of Iowa City West, Doyle logged 23 tackles as a sophomore this past season for the Hawkeyes. - Iowa City Press-Citizen

  Baylor's season opening football game against Ole Miss has been moved from Sept. 5 to Sunday Sept. 6 at NRG Stadium in Houston as part of ESPN's package of Labor Day games. The Bears will be designated the home team for the neutral site game which will match a pair of first-year head coaches at their respective schools: Baylor's Dave Aranda and Mississippi's Lane Kiffin. The kickoff time will be announced at a later date. "ESPN's Sunday game during kickoff weekend has quickly developed into a strong franchise," said Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of programming and ESPN Events. "We look forward to continuing that success as we feature two head coaches in their inaugural games with two great programs. We want to thank the schools and our Texas kickoff team for recognizing this unique opportunity." The game will mark the second meeting between the two schools. Baylor defeated the Rebels, 20-10, in the only previous meeting in 1975. - Waco Tribune Herald

"I'd like to thank my teammates and others in the community for the overwhelming amount of SUPPORT I've received the last few days," Doyle said in a tweet announcing he was entering the NCAA transfer portal.

On Saturday, Iowa placed Doyle on indefinite administrative leave. And on Sunday, head coach Kirk Ferentz told reporters that athletic director Gary Barta would coordinate an independent investigation on Iowa's strength and conditioning program, which Doyle has led since 1999. - Iowa City Press-Citizen

  05/21/20 - Jason Smith, rSr/2009, Baylor, 6-5, 309 (DS#1 OT) + More +

  Former No. 2 overall NFL draft pick Jason Smith highlights an eight-person induction class to the Baylor Athletics Hall of Fame, which was announced Wednesday. The class spans six different sports and features a quartet of three-time All-Americans in women's tennis star Lenka Broosova, men's tennis standout Lars Poerschke, softball great Brette Reagan, and track and field stalwart Todd Cooper. The class also includes volleyball's Anna Breyfogle and football's Brad Goebel and Andrew Melontree. Smith ranks as one of Baylor's top offensive linemen to pass through Waco. He was recruited as a tight end before moving to tackle after his freshman season. He started 30 straight games over the next three seasons and picked up consensus All-America honors in 2008 for a BU offense that produced the team's most rushing yards in 27 years (2,349). The then-St. Louis Rams selected Smith as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, Baylor's first first-round pick since Daryl Gardener in 1996. He played three years with the Rams and another with the New York Jets before his pro career ended. - Waco Tribune Herald

  With the trajectory Trestan Ebner has been on, next season should be his best. His 29 receptions in 2018 ranked 10th among Power Five running backs, and he rushed 53 times for 250 yards and three touchdowns last season. Ebner helped carry much of Baylor's running back efficiency - along with departing back JaMycal Hasty and senior John Lovett, the trio combined for 1,537 of the team's 2,330 rushing yards (66% of the total). - Dallas Morning News

He followed behind Mims in 2019 with a second-best 45 receptions and 782 receiving yards.

  05/11/20 - *Robert Griffin, rJr/2012, Baylor, 6-2, 223 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Before Robert Griffin III was a Heisman Trophy winner, before he was RG3, before he revitalized Baylor football, in fact even before he enrolled at Baylor in early 2008, he was a high school track star. On May 11, 2007, Griffin was a junior at Copperas Cove High School when he burned up the track in the UIL Track and Field State Meet at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin. Griffin set records in both the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles that day. The future Baylor Bear football star ran the 300 hurdles in 35.33 seconds, setting a state record for all classes and missed tying the national record by .01 of a second. He also set the Class 4A state record in the 110 hurdles at 13.55 seconds. Griffin's next standout track meet would come a little more than a year later when, as a first-semester freshman, he won the Big 12 title in the 400 hurdles with a time of 49.73. - Waco Tribune

  05/06/20 - Gunnar Royer, rSr/2022, Baylor, 6-2, 220 (DS#999 LS) + More +

  Ross Matiscik and Gunnar Royer never thought about long snapping as an avenue to the NFL when they were high school seniors trying to figure out where to play college football. Overlooked by FBS schools, their first priorities were proving themselves as defensive players. But after long snapping at Baylor for the last four years, Matiscik will get his shot to play in the NFL for the Jacksonville Jaguars after agreeing to a free agent contract on April 25. Next year, Royer hopes to be in a similar position. Looking to increase his exposure to the NFL, Royer recently signed with Baylor as a graduate transfer after long snapping for Indiana University of Pennsylvania, an NCAA Division II school.

Royer jumped on the radar of FBS schools when he was rated the best graduate transfer long snapper in the country after averaging .65 seconds per snap at a Kohl's Kicking Camp in January at IMG Academy in Florida. Both Baylor special teams coordinator Matt Powledge and head coach Dave Aranda were impressed with what they saw, and offered him a scholarship. "I know I'm good enough to play D-I," Royer said. "Just going through the whole process, the Baylor coaches really created a relationship with me. Instead of calling me one time, they stayed in contact with me and that made the difference." - Waco Tribune Herald

  05/03/20 - Blake Lynch, rSr/2020, Baylor, 6-2, 225 (DS#50 OLB) + More +

  When NFL training camps finally open, Baylor rookie defensive players will be spread all over the country from Seattle to Green Bay to Atlanta and many points in between. Three Baylor defenders were drafted on April 25 as Minnesota took All-America lineman James Lynch in the fourth round, Carolina chose all-Big 12 lineman Bravvion Roy in the sixth round and the Los Angeles Rams grabbed second team all-Big 12 linebacker Clay Johnston in the seventh round. But the real onslaught came in the hour after the NFL Draft ended. There was a signing frenzy as seven more Baylor defensive players agreed to free agent contracts. "I thought that it would happen but to see it happen was crazy," said former Baylor linebacker Blake Lynch. "Coach (Matt) Rhule prepared us for the NFL. I think everybody is going to make a team honestly." Blake Lynch will join James Lynch in Minnesota while linebacker Jordan Williams went to Atlanta, safety Henry Black to Green Bay, safety Chris Miller to Seattle, defensive end James Lockhart to Pittsburgh, cornerback Jameson Houston to Cleveland, and defensive back Grayland Arnold to Philadelphia. - Waco Tribune

  04/27/20 - Sam Tecklenburg, rSr/2020, Baylor, 6-3, 310 (DS#43 OG) + More +

  It wasn't that Sam Tecklenburg ever stopped loving football, but shortly after the end of the 2019 season, he decided he'd had enough. At the time, he said it was the toughest decision of his life, but that he would be hanging up the pads for good. "I was just feeling as burnt out as I ever had," Tecklenburg, the former Baylor OL, told The News on Sunday. "I had given everything I had to that last year ... at the time just wasn't that interested, once that was over." That announcement came in January, but as the months waned on, Tecklenburg started to get the itch to play again. A return was never formalized, though. It wasn't until his ex-head coach Matt Rhule, now the head coach of the Panthers, reached out on Saturday that the plan even went into motion.

As of Sunday afternoon, he was no longer retired. He was preparing to sign an NFL contract with the Carolina Panthers. His change in mindset - the idea of playing football again - was gradual. But the opportunity to actually sign forced Tecklenburg to speed up that decision process. Rhule, who also drafted former Baylor DL Bravvion Roy, called Tecklenburg after the draft ended and offered Tecklenburg a contract. - Dallas Morning News
