Unexpected players shine; Sawyer and company have their final interviews in BU gear.
Baylor welcomed Sawyer Robertson, Michael Trigg, and Ashtyn Hawkins, along with dozens of NFL scouts, to the Allison Indoor Facility in Waco for its Pro Day. Athletes participated in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, shuttle, and bench press and drilled at their respective positions with eyes from almost every NFL team on them.
Teammates said Kole Wilson earned himself some money over the afternoon; the wide receiver made a statement with a 38" vertical, a 10'9" broad, and improved his 40-yard dash to around 4.35 seconds. While Wilson isn't on many draft boards, he had a fantastic day. He explained how he felt like he "showed great explosiveness," which is key for undersized wideouts like Wilson.Omar Aigbedion also had an impressive day, and he said he feels like he "has been really slept on" during the recruiting process. Aigbedion had a stellar performance on the bench press, one that would have ranked 2nd among offensive linemen at the NFL combine. Omar said NFL teams "would be getting a player that never quits," and even though he was nursing a quad injury, he left it all out on the field during pro day.Today was likely the last time quarterback Sawyer Robertson will connect with his targets in Michael Trigg, Ashtyn Hawkins, Kole Wilson, and Kobe Prentice, and it was a treat to watch."We were trying to make the best of the opportunity," said Trigg when asked about his final routes with Sawyer. "Hopefully not, but we definitely had that conversation."He praised his receivers for a stronger performance during Pro Day. "They make my life look so easy." "No matter how long it takes at the next level, whether it's the first year or year seven, whenever that opportunity comes, I'm going to make the most of it," said Robertson when asked about thoughts surrounding the draft "regardless of whether I get drafted high, drafted low, or drafted at all."They talked about the offense, the team, and Baylor as a school in their short meeting. Robertson is passing the torch to Lagway and only had good things to say about the Florida transfer.Bennett is an undergrad student at Baylor University, studying journalism on the sports track. He is from the DFW area and grew up playing and watching sports, which inspired him to pursue sports writing.
