🎙️ TAKING THE STAGE

You know football season is coming when Big 12 Media Days arrive and that happens TODAY at The Star in Frisco.

Six members of the Baylor football program, along with head coach Dave Aranda, will jump behind the microphones to preview the season ahead for the Bears.

The event will be broadcast live in its entirety on ESPNU and ESPN+, with portions of the day broadcast live on ESPN2 for the first time ever. Additionally, the event will broadcast on Big 12 Studios from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. CT.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Preseason Praise. Before Big 12 Media Days kickoff today in Frisco, the league announced its 2025 Preseason All-Conference squads

Baylor's Josh Cameron, Keaton Thomas, Bryson Washington and Palmer Williams were all recognized.

BU's four honors are the second-most in the conference, trailing only 2024 champion Arizona State's five picks. The Bears are the only team in the Big 12 with an offensive, defensive and special teams representative on the preseason team.

🔼 Back At It. After missing over three weeks with an injury, Baylor alum Shea Langliers is back in the Athletics’ lineup and making his presence felt.

With the All-Star break set for next week, Langeliers finds himself tied for seventh among all MLB catchers with 12 HRs, despite missing over 20 games with the injury.

He is on pace for his third straight 20+ HR season and hitting a career-best .241 for the Athletics.

⏱️ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 5️⃣2️⃣ DAYS

That’s right, we are just 5️⃣2️⃣ days away from kickoff of the 2025 season!

Wearing #5️⃣2️⃣ this fall for the Bears will be redshirt sophomore LB Corey Kelly.

The Houston native played in 11 games for Baylor last season as a valuable depth piece in the linebacker room for the Bears.

This season, Kelly is expected to take a step forward and be a key cog in a critical part of Baylor’s defensive unit.
