The first recruiting class of the Matt Rhule era at Baylor is officially in the books. On Wednesday, 27 players signed their National Letters of Intent to enroll and play football at Baylor next season.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about this class is that only one player was committed to play for Baylor when Rhule was hired as head coach in December.
At Baylor’s National Signing Day press conference, Rhule explained how Baylor, despite recent turmoil, really sold itself to recruits.
“It’s still an elite, not a great, an elite education,” Rhule said.
