🔺 A Sneak Peek. Shhhhh… we won’t tell.

We’re giving Baylor Fans a sneak peek into the new home for Baylor Football.

Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital and defensive coordinator Matt Powledge take you behind the scenes of the new Fudge Football Development Center.

🔺 Building Champions. Each month, the Student-Athlete Center for Excellence selects four champions of the month.

This award recognizes student-athletes who achieve their personal bests in the areas of academic achievement, athletic success, character formation and spiritual growth. 
 
Each of these student-athletes was nominated by a SACE team member based upon their embodiment of each of the four pillars.

Jackson Wilkerson (baseball), Ketron Jackson Jr. (football), Alencia Lentz (women's track & field) and Ashlee Zirkel (soccer) have been selected as the March Champions of the Month. 

🔺 Two-For-One Special. Everyone loves a good 2-for-1 deal, right?

Well, that’s what the Baylor track & field program enjoyed this week as the Bears picked up ✌️ weekly Big 12 accolades.

Alexis Brown and Demar Francis earned their first-career recognitions after stellar performances at the home-opening Clyde Hart Classic in Waco on Friday and Saturday. In the meet, Baylor tabbed seven overall titles with two additional collegiate wins.

Gotta love a little special guest stopping by Waco, right?

Fans of The Office went a little wild around Foster Pavilion as Angela Kinsey, best known for her role on the hit sitcom stopped by to cheer on the Baylor women’s hoops squad.

🎥 BAYLOR+: ACCESS

What a homecoming it was for Jada Walker!

The Virginia native SHOWED OUT in her home state and led the Baylor women’s squad back to the Sweet 16.

Go behind-the-scenes as she celebrates her big day in front of family in friends!

🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA

One of the most impressive parts of Baylor women’s hoops team this year has been the offensive balance put on display each and every night.

Entering this weekend’s Sweet 16, how many Bears are averaging over seven points per game?

Got a guess?

🎙 SIC ’EM POD: PAYTON WASHINGTON

On this week’s episode we’re joined by a freshman on Baylor’s Acrobatics and Tumbling team, Payton Washington.

After having an incredible high school career of competitive cheerleading, Baylor A&T was ecstatic to have the Round Rock native coming to campus. But then the unthinkable happened. Payton was shot not once, not twice, but 3 times.

Now, after making a full recovery from the incident, Payton is quickly making a name for herself at the collegiate level, and contributing to the #1 ranked team in the country.

🎉 CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES

Long ago, Kool & The Gang taught us to Celebrate Good Times and on Nov. 2nd, Baylor will do exactly that.

A pair of 11-2 and Big 12 Conference Championship teams will be celebrated during the upcoming 2024 Baylor Football season, as the Bears plan to recognize student-athletes from the 2013 and 2014 teams. 

On Nov. 2 when Baylor plays TCU at McLane Stadium, the program will commemorate the 2013 and 2014 Big 12 Conference Championship teams.
