Happy Thursday Bears. We’re not sure, but we’re pretty sure this is what defenders see when Monaray Baldwin is lined up across from them.

That speed and athleticism was recognized this week and we’ll tell you how!

What else do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check It Out Below!

is right there to take you inside practice.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Freaky Fast. For a second straight year, Monaray Baldwin has been recognized as one of the freakiest athletes in college football.

Bruce Feldman of the New York Times builds a list each year to honor some of the most incredible athletes around the country and Baldwin earned a spot in the top-50 yet again.

Last year, Baldwin was no. 42, this year, he sits at no. 41 entering the 2024 season after benching more than double his weight (365 pounds) and increasing his speed to up to 23.16 mph.

🔼 The wait is over... 292 days, 3 hours, 11 minutes.

Not that we’ve been counting or anything, but we’ve been waiting a long time for tonight.

That wait is over when the Baylor soccer team takes the field in Starkville, Miss. tonight against the Bulldogs of Mississippi State.

🔼 Summertime Smilin’. It may be the final days of summer break, but these Bears aren’t sitting around with their feet up.

Baylor men’s tennis duo Oskar Brostrom Poulsen and Marko Miladinović brought home some hardware this week by claiming the top spot in men’s doubles at the ITA National Summer Championships.

Because of their success, the two rising seniors for the Bears earned main draw wild cards into one of the biggest qualifier tournaments for the NCAA Fall Individual Championships, which will be hosted at Baylor in November.

🎙 A BONUS INSIDE BAYLOR SPORTS!

Soccer season is upon us!

On this bonus edition of the show we're getting you ready

We'll hear from SicEm365's lead soccer writer Jack Mackenzie who has
the inside scoop on the team, and chat with 3rd year Head Coach
Michelle Lenard as the team prepares to open their season on
the road against Mississippi State.
