Baylor adds former Longhorn, four-star recruit to rush passer

The transfer portal allows for second chances and former four-star recruit Byron Vaughns is proof. The former four-star recruit from Fort Worth Eastern Hills committed to Texas out of high school in the 2018 recruiting cycle and played for the Longhorns for three seasons, where he played in 10 games. 

Vaughns flourished at his second stop – Utah State. He played in 14 games, starting five times, while registering four sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss. He was the Defensive MVP of the Moutain West Championship Game thanks to five tackles, including one sack and two tackles for loss. He started in nine of the 11 games he played at Utah State in 2022, ending the year with a team-high nine quarterback hurries.
