Baylor football has announced its projected offensive starters as the team prepares for the upcoming season. The lineup is taking shape following the second week of fall camp, with the first game approaching.
DJ Lagway will step in as the starting quarterback, receiving positive feedback from coaches about his performance. He has expressed confidence in the offensive scheme developed by Jake Spavital, which is expected to enhance his skills and support a strong offensive showing in the Big 12.
Dawson Pendergrass is anticipated to take on the role of starting running back. After missing the previous season, Pendergrass aims to make a notable impact, having previously achieved more than 670 rushing yards and six touchdowns across his first two seasons. His ability to run physically and catch passes adds significant value to the backfield.
The wide receiver lineup is expected to include Louis Brown IV and Dre'lon Miller. Brown, who has played for Colorado State and San Diego State, is projected to serve as the main deep threat. Miller, a former top recruit, showcased versatility during his time at Colorado, functioning as both a receiver and a hybrid player.
Gavin Freeman, a recent addition from Oklahoma State, is set to take on the slot receiver position, recognized for his speed and agility in short routes and return situations.
Tony Livingston, who transfers from Florida, will fill the tight end position, bringing experience in both blocking and receiving, which should aid Lagway's transition.
