Baylor Fills Tight End Void with Florida Transfer Tony Livingston

Florida transfer tight end Tony Livingston has signed with Baylor following his official visit. He becomes the first tight end commit for the Bears this transfer portal cycle.

The 6-foot-5, 264-pounder has posted 22 receptions for 228 yards and four touchdowns the past two seasons while playing 403 total snaps.

Livingston was the fourth-highest-graded offensive player for the Gators this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He posted an offensive grade of 76.2 with a team-high 85.2 receiving grade and a 61.4 run block grade. His 85.2 receiving grade was top five in the SEC for tight ends.

The Tampa (FL) native was a composite four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class. He held offers from Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, USC and many others.

Livingston has one season of eligibility remaining, but could get one extra year if the 5x5 ruling passes, since he has not redshirted.

The Bears will be without star tight end Michael Trigg, who is expected to be an early-to-mid-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft, next season. Trigg caught 50 passes for 694 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.
