Baylor football has announced which players will wear single digits for the 2026 season via a social media post inspired by the famous anime Dragon Ball Z.
Indiana transfer defensive lineman Hosea Wheeler will wear No. 0. His eligibility for the 2026 season is still up in the air, but if cleared, he should play a major role along Baylor’s defensive front after a productive season with the Hoosiers.
Quarterback DJ Lagway will stick with No. 2 as he enters the year as the centerpiece of Baylor’s offense and one of the most talented quarterbacks in the Big 12.
Wide receivers Dre’lon Miller (No. 1), Jadon Porter (No. 3), Louis Brown IV (No. 4) and Gavin Freeman (No. 6) also earned single-digit numbers, giving the Bears four receivers in the group.
Defensively, linebacker Travion Barnes will wear No. 5, cornerback Devon Jordan takes No. 7, and safety Jacob Redding gets No. 8. Kansas State transfer Ryan Davis rounds out the group at No. 9 as Baylor looks for more production off the edge in 2026.

Wheeler, who just won a national title at Indiana, transferred to Baylor in hopes of starring for the Bears in 2026. He started his career at Sacramento Community College, where he played one season. He then played three seasons at Western Kentucky, before playing last year at Indiana.
