Josh Lair, a redshirt freshman safety and former four-star recruit, is no longer part of the Baylor Bears football team. Lair, who joined Baylor’s 2024 recruiting class with high expectations, had offers from prominent programs including Texas, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, Michigan, and Tennessee. His departure marks a significant change for the Bears’ secondary lineup.
The reasons behind Lair’s exit have not been publicly disclosed. His absence will necessitate adjustments within Baylor’s defensive backfield as the team prepares for the upcoming season. The coaching staff may look to other players to step up and fill the void left by Lair’s departure.
This development comes as the Bears aim to build upon their previous season’s performance, with both returning players and new recruits playing pivotal roles in shaping the team’s future. The program continues to focus on strengthening its roster to remain competitive in the Big 12 Conference.
