"There is that itch to be out there," Nate Bennett said. "You want to be out there. . . . I understand it, but I just kind of released the rope and gave it to God and put it in God's hands.''
"From where he's been and what he's had to overcome and the hurdles he's had to go through, it's really cool to see him have this moment," Coach Dave Aranda said. "He was really happy. And I thought his joy transferred over to a lot of guys, which is way cool."
Baylor's identity starts up front. Dave Aranda and the Bears are counting on a rebuilt defensive line and an aggressive new scheme to set the tone this season.
One thing that has not changed for Baylor Athletics? A deeply embedded commitment to the mission of the University to change lives through the spiritual growth of its student-athletes.
"Football Saturdays can be a gateway to the university, and events like Fan Fest help create that bridge," AD Doug McNamee said. "If we can give people a great experience the first time, that's how you grow something that lasts."
In the changing world of college football, with the transfer portal, NIL and roster limits, a rags-to-riches story like Josh Cameron's may never happen again. But what a story it's been. A zero-star recruit when he signed with Baylor out of Cedar Park High School as a preferred walk-on in 2021, Cameron developed into an All-American punt returner, one of the top receivers in the country and a legitimate prospect for next month's NFL Draft.
One thing is very clear, Joe Klanderman wasn't brought to Baylor as the defensive coordinator to keep the status quo. "There will be considerable changes to what we do and what we may look like," the 46-year-old Klanderman said at Dec. 15's introductory press conference.
With a goal of "keeping the 254 in the 254," Baylor head coach Dave Aranda announced a 2026 signing class on Wednesday, Dec. 3 that included wide receivers London Smith from Waco University High School and Davion Peters from just down the road in Temple.
Rather than announcing the three finalists on Tuesday, maybe the Burlsworth Trophy committee should just go ahead and hand the award to receiver/punt returner Josh Cameron. The former walk-on from Cedar Park, Texas, had career highs with 13 catches for 165 yards, scored twice and added two punt returns for 27 yards.
Like a traveling door-to-door salesman, Derek Turner took his football highlight reel from tiny Deer Creek High School in Edmond, Okla., hit the road and went to school after school, just "trying to figure out who would take me."
