WACO, Texas — With an entirely new roster, Baylor Men’s Basketball isn’t just rebuilding; they’re laying a foundation.
Rooted in Baylor’s four pillars of academic excellence, athletic success, character formation, and spiritual growth, this year’s team is pursuing more than wins and rankings. They are pursuing faith, identity, and a brotherhood that stretches far beyond the court. For two players in particular, that journey became life-changing.
After weeks of heartfelt conversations with coaches and teammates, Bears Drew Perry and Dan Skillings Jr. felt a pull they couldn’t ignore, and a moment where basketball, brotherhood, and belief all collided.
"It feels like I'm playing for more now, I have that backing in Christ and knowing that if I miss a shot, it's not the end of the world,"
