more dominoes falling...Very likely a starter (and possible leader) for next year coming back from injury.

Baylor defensive starter to enter transfer portal

Baylor LB Phoenix Jackson is set to enter the portal with one year of eligibility, a source told ESPN. Jackson, who was injured in mid-September, recorded 9 tackles. He transferred in from Fresno State, where he had 49 tackles, 2 INTs, a forced fumble and 4 sacks in 2024. pic.twitter.com/5yhPqms6wn

It's a bummer but players everywhere are entering the portal. Obviously there's plenty of reason to be bummed about the current state of the program, but guys we don't want to transfer still would even if all was well. It's just the current state of CFB.

True freshman Kaleb burns took over for him after he got hurt so I'm guessing he was going to be fighting for pt with burns.

I don't disagree that "this is college football now". That being said, I believe that if the program was in better place and trending in the right way and coaches proved they developed players he would not be transferring. This wasn't a dude that was buried on the depth chart...this was a productive LB prior to injury that would have likely been a starter.

Guess I can't blame him. He has one year of eligibility left. No sense throwing it away.

This is a very good football player

Rising from the ashes?

Ashes to ashes.

Any chance our 'mustard' uniforms can be entered into the portal and given a new home? I would rather have our guys play in nothing more than socks and jocks than to see those uni's again.

How much NIL money did BU lose to injured players this year?
