Baylor football offensive linemen Gavin Byers and Jacob Gall joined Paul Catalina for an Athlete+ interview.

Highlights:

  • What made it seamless for transferring in and adjusting to Baylor? The coaching staff especially Eric Mateos and Dave Aranda.
  • Jacob Gall tries to explain why the other OL said he is the Batman of the OL. Khalil is the flash and Gavin takes the role of Robin.
  • For Gavin coming in after 2019, the expectations were always high.
  • Gall is impressed with how the core group has stayed around and accepted that they are stronger together.
  • There is a lot of trust in the coaches and that carries over into who the coaches bring in, for example, Jaxon Player.
  • Gall thinks Jaxon will be great this year.
  • Byers has been working at guard and tackle to be versatile and Apu’s speed was tough for him to deal with at first.
  • Gall talks about what makes center different, and the unique challenges of snapping and making calls.
  • Gall talks about the small differences for him as the center for Shapen vs for Bohanon. He has to lift his butt up a little higher in his stance.
  • Why is the Grant the one girls are after? He’s a smooth operator, smart and charismatic. Mose Jeffrey is Timberlake though.
  • Byers sees the OL group as a real brotherhood.
  • This is a player-led team and it helps chemistry, especially during camp.
  • When do they start to get hyped for the season? The last week of camp, they don’t look too far ahead too early.
