🏈 WORTH THE WAIT
Former Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty is set to enter the Baylor Athletics Hall of Fame this fall! Petty waited his turn to be the Baylor starter, something that is a rare feat in today’s landscape of college athletics. When his time came, he went 21-4 as a starter and led the Bears to their first two Big 12 Championships and 11-win seasons.
“The time I waited, what I believe it taught me as a man… made me appreciate the times that I did play and that I did lead and was part of a culture that was a winning culture. It was a culture that people were excited about being a fan of Baylor football. And I couldn’t imagine it any other way.”
