Description
Baylor Bears shake up the college football landscape by landing standout Oklahoma cornerback Devon Jordan and New Mexico State’s shutdown defender Stilton McKelvey, instantly upgrading their secondary.

With nearly every position group facing turnover, Cam Stuart assesses prospects for the upcoming season, highlights emerging names like Dawson Pendergrass, and challenges listeners to weigh in on who inherits the title of Baylor’s top player.
