Forget what you thought you knew about Baylor football recruiting! Under Dave Aranda, the Bears are on an absolutely scorching hot streak, pulling in elite talent and shockingly out-recruiting traditional powerhouses like Texas and Oklahoma for the 2026 class!

Just in the last week, Baylor has landed multiple 4-star commitments like DL Jamarion Carlton and WR Jordan Clay, propelling their 2026 class into the top 25 nationally – their highest ranking in years! What's the real reason behind this sudden surge? We're diving deep into Dave Aranda's unique approach, the impact of their NIL strategy, and the incredible relationships they're building with top prospects.

But here's the kicker: They're NOT done yet! We reveal who Baylor's top remaining targets are, the big names they're still battling for, and why the Bears could continue to climb even higher in the national rankings. Get ready to rethink everything you thought about the Big 12 recruiting landscape. The future is bright in Waco, and it's just getting started!
