It's a chance to play in the Big 12 Conference. It's a chance to play close to home. It's also a chance for the strong-willed to rebuild a program's image.
Seven DFW student athletes signed with Baylor despite the university's sexual misconduct scandals.
In total, 27 players pledged to the school -- the seven Metroplex players include:

- Gavin Holmes, WR - Justin Northwest
- Bryson Jackson, LB - Mansfield Lake Ridge
- Henry Klinge, OL - Southlake Carroll
- Cole Maxwell, DE - Allen
- Jason Moore, OL - Frisco Independence

Many of these players are team captains and all are high-character people, according to their coaches and family members.

Baylor got into the recruiting game this season late because of the coaching change and the cloud of scandals.

Twenty-three of the 27 signees committed after Jan. 1, so the staff worked tirelessly to fill this class.
