Dawson Pendergrass - Set for major role in 2026 Pendergrass looks to be "a major weapon" in Baylor's offense ahead of the 2026 season, according to Tyler Gillum of SI.com.

Impact Pendergrass sits at the top of Baylor's depth chart for the 2026 season, so the idea of him having a significant role after the departure of Bryson Washington shouldn't be a complete surprise. He missed the entire 2025 campaign, but he should handle steady backfield work as the Bears' RB1 in 2026 as long as he stays healthy. He should be a perfect fit next to DJ Lagway and in this offensive scheme.

Gavin Freeman - Praised by WR coach Freeman was praised by Baylor's wide receivers coach Dallas Baker, according to Levi Caraway of Sic'Em365.

Impact Freeman had a breakout season on a 1-11 OK State team, catching 53 passes for 481 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Baker revealed he's a big fan of Freeman, and he's expected to open the year as the team's starting slot receiver while being a regular target for quarterback DJ Lagway.

Louis Brown IV - Looking promising in fall camp Brown has been standing out during Baylor's fall camp and is emerging as a top target for the 2026 season, according to Garrett Ross of 247Sports.com.

Impact Brown was praised by offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, who said, "Lou's looking awesome right now. We're still challenging him." The wideout is looking to have a big impact in the passing game this season as he competes for a starting spot. It's promising that Brown has stood out as the Bears' receiving room is revamped and looking for a breakout pass catcher. The wideout had limited production last season with Baylor, appearing in just four games and recording six receptions for 79 yards and one touchdown before redshirting.

Matthew Klopfenstein - Fitting well into new scheme Klopfenstein has adapted to Baylor's new scheme and become a key leader this offseason, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Klopfenstein is entering his senior campaign with the Bears, and while much has changed around him, the tight end has become a key piece of the offense. The 6-foot-4 unit has been emphasized more as a blocker in the run game so far in his career, but he could be utilized more as a pass catcher in his final year.
