Meet Baylor's 3-Star Backfield of Texas High School Legends
The Baylor Bears running back room is chock-full of overlooked recruits who put up video game numbers in small-town Texas high school football. Now, Bellville Brahmas' Richard Reese, Franklin Lions' Bryson Washington and Mineola Yellowjackets' Dawson Pendergrass are the keys to toppling the Texas Longhorns.
It took barely one quarter of watching Baylor bury an overmatched Long Island squad Saturday to recognize the Bears were honing their game strategy for No. 3-ranked Texas: run the damn ball and milk the clock.
