  08/27/20 - Skyler Thomas, rSr/2022, Liberty, 5-09, 184 (DS#91 CB) + More +

  Despite entering his name in the NCAA transfer portal last week, Washington State's Skyler Thomas will stay put this fall and finish his college career with the Cougars. Thomas announced the news Monday morning on Twitter: "I will be pulling my name from the transfer portal and returning to WSU." The Pacific-12 Conference's postponement of fall football two weeks ago prompted the Southern California native to enter his name in the portal and seek opportunities elsewhere. While the Pac-12 and Big Ten have moved on from the idea of playing this fall, the Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference still plan on a season starting next month. Thomas' WSU teammate, wide receiver Tay Martin, made a similar decision and found a vacant scholarship at Oklahoma State, announcing his transfer to the Big 12 Cowboys on Saturday. - Spokesman-Review

  Last season, Brewer led the Bears to an 11-3 record and a Sugar Bowl appearance as he threw for 3,161 yards and 21 scores. "Whether it's on Zoom or now when we're actually getting to meet, the thing that I can tell you is football is extremely important to him," Fedora said. "He is concerned about every detail of what we're doing and why we're doing it and what other guys are doing within the concept, so that he has a good grasp of it. He's got great football savvy. He understands the game of football."

Brewer is looking forward to running Fedora's up-tempo offense since it's similar to the scheme he played in at Lake Travis High School. "We're going to play with a lot of tempo, we're going to play fast," Brewer said. "The ball is going to be out of my hand quickly. We're still going to establish a run game as well as take a lot of shots down the field. So I think you're going to see some fast tempo and a lot of big plays. We've got the guys who can do it and I think we've got the system that will allow us to do that." - Waco Tribune Herald

  Baylor practice will look different for the upcoming season due to the pandemic. There will be social distancing, face masks and other precautions to limit the possibility of COVID-19 contamination. Three months after the coronavirus shut down the Baylor campus, the football team will take its first steps back with voluntary strength and conditioning workouts beginning throughout the upcoming week. Baylor plans to return 20 players per day Monday through Thursday for coronavirus testing. Twenty players returned early for injury rehab and all tested negative for COVID-19.

Like all NCAA football teams, the Bears hope to begin their season as scheduled Sept. 5 against Ole Miss at NRG Stadium in Houston. But much will depend on whether the coronavirus pandemic is under better control. "I told our staff this is just the start of the race," said Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades. "We have a formidable opponent in COVID-19, and so much of how we finish is dependent on how we start the race. I'm at great peace that we have a real thoughtful plan on how we'll onboard our student-athletes." - Waco Tribune Herald

  Quarterback Charlie Brewer and linebacker Terrel Bernard provided crucial leadership throughout Baylor's run to the 2019 Big 12 championship game and the program's first Sugar Bowl appearance in 63 years. After the coronavirus outbreak forced Baylor students off campus in mid-March, the Bears have needed their leadership more than ever. Brewer and Bernard have helped keep their teammates bonded with daily communication through phone calls, texts and virtual meetings. Nobody knows the pulse of the team better. The Big 12 announced Friday that football players can return to campus June 15 for voluntary conditioning and training exercises. But Brewer and his teammates will be excited for the day when they will be cleared for team workouts. "Hopefully we can get back sooner than later," Brewer said. "It's been way too long. I think a lot of our guys have taken advantage of this time apart, but we have to hit the ground running when we return."

Nobody is more respected on the team than Brewer, who is entering his fourth season as the starting quarterback. Brewer has passed for 7,742 career yards and 51 touchdowns while rushing for 885 yards and 18 scores heading into his senior year. But it's his toughness and willingness to sacrifice for the team that have enhanced his leadership skills. He's liked the way his teammates have responded to his leadership during their time apart for the last 2 1/2 months. "I think everyone is doing a great job of holding people accountable, and that starts with me," Brewer said. "I need to know myself inside and out, and I have to set the example and let other people see I'm doing everything I can right now for the team. That includes what we need to be doing strength and conditioning wise. I think a lot of teammates have taken it very seriously and understand what we need to do to reach our goals." - Waco Tribune Herald

  05/21/20 - Antonio Gandy-Golden, Sr/2020, Liberty, 6-4, 223 (DS#13 WR) + More +

  Former Liberty wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden announced Wednesday he tested positive for the novel coronavirus prior to the NFL Draft but made a full recovery in time for the Washington Redskins to select him in the fourth round. Gandy-Golden described his symptoms as "mild" following a March 24 diagnosis. He said he self-quarantined for two weeks and was cleared to return April 7. The Redskins drafted him 2 1/2 weeks later on the final day of the three-day NFL Draft. "I feel 100% now and can't wait to get on the field for the Redskins ASAP!" Gandy-Golden said in a statement released by his agent.

Tuesday evening, Liberty President Jerry Falwell Jr. hinted at Gandy-Golden's positive test during an appearance on Fox News. "Even the one student, who was an online student who never was on campus and tested positive, it turns out he quit school to go into the NFL Draft back early in March, even though he was online, but somehow that got press," Falwell said on "The Ingraham Angle." - Lynchburg News and Advance

  The NCAA has proposed a plan to allow college athletes opportunities to earn money for endorsements and other activities involving personal appearances. But college coaches don't want the new legislation to give some schools greater advantages in attracting recruits or open the door for boosters or agents to have a major influence. There are many key details that must be worked out before NCAA membership votes on legislation in January 2021. Baylor is like most schools in that coaches are working with compliance officials in seeking details on the parameters that this new NCAA proposal will entail.

"I think anything that benefits the student-athlete generally would be the thought," said Baylor football coach Dave Aranda. "But there's still a lot that has to be worked out. I know that I've got questions. A lot of it is kind of conceptual right now. So now it's the ability to move to the next phase with real pointed questions in terms that there are some tentacles that go different varying ways." Under the proposal, athletes will be able to earn money on their names, Images and likenesses. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, who led the group that produced the recommendations approved by the NCAA Board of Governors, said there will be no cap on what athletes can earn but he does believe the NCAA should determine fair market values for various opportunities to earn compensation. - Waco Tribune

  05/08/20 - Rashad Jennings, rSr/2009, Liberty, 6-1, 231 (DS#7 RB) + More +

  Former Liberty standout and NFL running back running back Rashad Jennings will have his jersey retired at his alma mater this fall.

  Only one Baylor Bear has won the Heisman Trophy. During the 2011 season - aptly dubbed across all Baylor sports as the Year of the Bear - Robert Griffin III made history as the first to receive the award. Star quarterback Charlie Brewer could go down as one of the best in Baylor's history. Does he have a viable shot at becoming the next Heisman winner? Talent aside, Brewer's storied college career makes a compelling case. His freshman season coincided with the beginning of the Matt Rhule era.

Brewer endured the rebuilding years and helped the Bears go from a 1-11 record in 2017 to an impressive 11-3 turnaround in 2019, complete with an appearance in the Big 12 championship game and a trip to the Sugar Bowl. Brewer's production has steadily increased over the last three years - he finished last season with a career-high 3,161 passing yards and 21 touchdowns. If he can maintain that upward trajectory and have a solid senior campaign, he might be able to increase the odds of bringing the trophy back to Baylor. - Dallas Morning News

  03/20/20 - Antonio Gandy-Golden, Sr/2020, Liberty, 6-4, 223 (DS#13 WR) + More +

  A slew of scouts from the NFL and Canadian Football League were expected to attend Liberty football's pro day on April 7. The main attraction was wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden. While most eyes would have been on Gandy-Golden, players such as quarterback Buckshot Calvert and defensive end Jessie Lemonier could have significantly bolstered either their draft stock or generated consideration as free agent signees if things went well. Those opportunities were wiped out Thursday when Liberty announced it canceled its annual pro day. The announcement was made in conjunction with the cancellation of the annual spring game, which was scheduled for April 4. The remaining 10 spring practices have been suspended indefinitely, and a decision on whether those practices will be made up this spring will likely come next week during a conference call with the ASUN Conference. "It seems to surely be headed in that direction, unless something changes," Flames coach Hugh Freeze said last week. "We'll be OK either way."

The coaching staff was anticipating the players returning to campus this weekend, with the sixth practice scheduled for Monday. The staff, though, made contingency plans in case practices are canceled and ensured the players had the means to continue training on their own. "We've got all the technology. We can send them cut-ups and tapes and all those things. We'll do what we can with whatever comes," Freeze said. "We're going to stay in contact with our kids, but it won't be the same as taking them to training tables and seeing them every day. You hope that our program has kind of set a standard that most want to chase to where they chose to do the right things academically, socially and physically, even when we're not together if it comes that way." - Lynchburg News and Advance
