FRISCO, Texas - When Baylor opens fall camp next month on August 27, they will be without linebacker DeMarco Artis and wide receiver Rajah Preciado, SicEm365 has learned and confirmed. 

A Baylor official confirmed the departure of both and that both players left on good terms. Artis and Preciado were left off of Baylor's roster at Big 12 Media Days that was released on Monday morning.

A 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker from Sanford, Florida, Artis played six games Baylor's RUSH position as a true freshman, collecting one tackle with a QB hurry.

Following the season Artis was moved to the middle linebacker position and was in line to potentially redshirt as a sophmore to regain a year of eligibility. A 2017 prospect, Artis picked the Bears over Florida State and Oregon. 

Preciado (5-10, 185) also went through a position change, moving from safety to wide receiver during the spring. As a sophomore, Preciado played in 11 games totaling 13 tackles with 1.0 tackles for loss. Preciado signed with the Bears in 2016 out College Station (TX) High school.

Baylor, who added Navarro College linebacker Jacob Copeland to their roster for 2018, currently sits at 84 scholarship with fall camp approaching.

"Didn't evaluate properly"? LOL! Is that a euphemism for lack of coaching? According to the article, Artis had offers from Florida State and Oregon.

I really hope Artis isn't leaving because he was gonna redshirt this year. That'd be a diva like move.

Preciado, I liked him. Could he not cut it on defense? And I guess we are loaded at WR for the time being...

Looks like the staff is making room for some good new recruits.

Wasn't Artis one of the surprise "whale" recruits from that first class?

Bull crap? We recruited Artis to rush the passer but moved to MLB this spring. What do you call that?

Artis should have been booted after the TCU game.

Wasn't evaluated correctly is 100% coaching/ recruiting. Is that not obvious? Are you dense?

Really no need to be defensive (No pun intended). I asked you a simple question and you answered it. Thank you.

Anybody know why they left? Couldn't make it up the depth chart??? Why? Why? Why?

Also, I really likes Preciado as a person.

EVERY program has attrition where players leave and go elsewhere


This doesnt always have to do with coaching or evaluation of recruits

Case in point

Lache Seastrunk

I'm confident Artis isnt leaving Baylor for the same reason that Seastrunk left Oregon.

Demarco was not going to play this year. Period.

Don't know about the other guy.

Wish em well and don't be disappointed. We need to be the least controversial team this side of the Mississippi river. They will get picked up elsewhere...probably not D1 though (pure speculation on my part).
