🔼 Ferrell Friday Nights. 2024 marked the ninth straight NCAA Tournament bid for the Baylor volleyball program.
On Thursday night at the Ferrell Center, the Bears made it nine straight seasons with an NCAA Tournament win.
BU rolled past Wofford in dominating fashion, sweeping the Terriers to the tune of 25-11, 25-11 and 25-18.
Next up is a date with the fifth-seeded Dayton Flyers TONIGHT at the Ferrell Center for a chance to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third time in the past four seasons.
🔼 The Baylor Way. For those around the Baylor family, they all know that building champions goes far beyond the field for the Bears.
There was no better evidence of that this week as not one, but TWO former Baylor standouts were honored as Walter Payton Man of the Year nominees for their respective organizations.
Andrew Billings was honored by the Chicago Bears, while Jalen Pitre was recognized by the Titans.
The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide recognizes an NFL player for his excellence on and off the field. The award was established in 1970 and was renamed in 1999 after the late Hall of Fame running back, Walter Payton. Each team nominates one player who has had a significant positive impact on his community.
🔼 Accolades Aplenty. It’s that time of year again, where we all scramble to fill gift requests and find ways to fill our stockings.
Plenty of Bears have some accolades that will be filling their stockings this holiday season.
Redshirt junior Josh Cameron, sixth-year senior Matt Jones, redshirt sophomore Keaton Thomas and sophomore Palmer Williams were each named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while redshirt junior Michael Trigg picked up a spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team.
Cameron also received votes at wide receiver, earning honorable mention status alongside junior Omar Aigbedion, redshirt senior Lorando Johnson, redshirt senior Treven Ma'ae, redshirt junior Jackie Marshall and senior Gavin Yates.
Additionally, three different Bears received votes for four "Of the Year" awards in Cameron (Special Teams Player of the Year), Thomas (Defensive Newcomer of the Year) and redshirt freshman running back Bryson Washington (Offensive Freshman of the Year, Offensive Newcomer of the Year).
