INVASION: How Kansas State Will TRANSFORM Baylor's Defense in 2026, Joe Klanderman Has PULL?

Joe Klanderman ignites a Baylor Bears defensive resurgence, landing four key Kansas State transfers—Jayden Rowe, Daniel Cobbs, Ryan Davis, and Colby McCallister—in a bold move to rebuild Waco’s NFL pipeline. Cam Stuart examines how Klanderman’s proven development track record offers Baylor instant upgrades on defense, especially with pass rush specialist Ryan Davis. Can these Wildcats-turned-Bears fast-track Baylor’s return to Big 12 contention, and is their success tied to how similar experiments play out at Oklahoma State and Auburn?

On the hardwood, Scott Drew’s Baylor men’s basketball team silences critics with a dominant 94-79 victory over Oklahoma State. Cam Stuart highlights the breakout performances of Tounde Yessoufou and Mikey Rataj, but asks: Is this explosive offensive display the real turning point, or just a one-night wonder? Plus, get the latest on DJ Lagway’s signing saga—the clock is ticking. Don’t miss this packed breakdown from Locked On Baylor!
