🎥  LAGWAY LEGACY

Lagway Legacy is a special feature on DJ Lagway that goes far beyond the helmet and shoulder pads. This Baylor+ original offers a personal window into the journey that shaped one of the most talked-about quarterbacks in college football as he begins a new chapter with the Bears.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 What A Run. Another 30 win season. Another regional final for the Baylor Softball program.

A thrilling Saturday in Austin pushed the Bears to the 30-win plateau for the 11th time in the past 13 seasons. With wins over Wagner and Wisconsin, Baylor reached the regional final for the 13th time in the Coach Moore Era.

🔼 Finishing Strong. The Baylor baseball team will head into this week’s Big 12 Tournament with momentum on its side as the Bears won three of its final four regular season games, including taking two-of-three at Utah over the weekend.

In the final two games against the Utes, Baylor piled up 22 runs on 26 hits, 15 of which were of the extra-base variety, highlighted by seven HRs.

Up next, the Bears head to the 2026 Big 12 Tournament in Suprise, Ariz. Baylor will enter as the 8th-seed and await the winner of 9th-seeded BYU and 12th-seeded Texas Tech.

🔼 Medalin’ Up. Hopefully the Baylor track & field programs left extra room in their luggage because they’re going to need it for the trip home from the 2026 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Led by a record-setting performance from Tiriah Kelley in the 200m, the Bears piled up nine podium finishes, including three event titles.

In the 200m, Kelley clocked a program, meet and facility record of 22.19 to bring home gold. Joining her in the winner’s circle was Tenly Kuhn (pole vault) and the men’s 4×400 relay.
