Two Bears exit football program during off week
Baylor junior defensive back Jourdan Blake and senior offensive lineman Ish Wilson are no longer with the football program according to Baylor head coach Matt Rhule during a Tuesday availability.
The news comes on the heels of Baylor's 0-5 start where the Bears have lost a significant number of players for the season to injury or significant time.
“We have two young men, Ish Wilson and Jourdan Blake, are no longer members of the football team," Rhule said. "I think it’s important — I’m not going to get into the particulars, because they are really good people and I want to be respectful of them. It’s important to note that this is nothing criminal, it’s just really about our program as we move forward. We wish them the best as they stay here and graduate, but they will no longer play for us as we move forward.”
