Dillon Doyle decided to transfer from Iowa to Baylor without stepping foot in Waco. His first day on campus was his first day of summer workouts. It was 2020 and the world was shut down due to COVID-19. Doyle, a middle linebacker who was second on the team behind Terrel Bernard in tackles over the last two seasons, relied on his B.S. meter to sift through potential landing spots.
“(Dave) Aranda felt like a genuine person, and he’s proven me right through two years,” Doyle said. “I knew right away that he and Ron Roberts were legitimate guys who truly cared about me.”
