Get to know Baylor wide receiver Gavin Freeman beyond the field in his Deep Dive — a closer look at his journey, personality, and what makes him one of the Bears!

🔼 Air Mail. Baylor punter Palmer Williams has landed on The Sporting News Midseason All-America Second Team. The senior leads the country with a 51.4-yard punting average and is on pace to lead the Big 12 for a third straight season. He’s also chasing a Baylor first: finishing atop the national punting-average leaderboard twice in his career.

🔼 He’s The Man. Baylor captain Michael Allen is one of 20 semifinalists for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award. The fifth-year safety has devoted more than 100 hours to community service while helping raise over $10,000 for rare disease research through Uplifting Athletes. He’s also carrying a perfect 4.0 GPA in his MBA studies after graduating from Baylor with a 3.96 undergraduate GPA.

🔼 Safe Hands. Baylor soccer’s Azul Alvarez has earned her fourth career Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week honor after making a season-high seven saves in Baylor’s 1-0 win over TCU. Two of those stops came in the closing minutes, including a leaping save to protect the shutout. Next up, the Bears visit Arizona State tonight at 9 p.m. on ESPN+.
