Rhodes caught 10 passes for 157 yards, including a 52-yard grab, in his freshman year for Baylor. Rhodes was a highly-touted recruit in the class of 2013. He was ranked as the No. 8 wide receiver in his class by Rivals.com.
Olson reports that Rhodes will sit out the 2014 season and have three remaining years of eligibility. He will join new Falcons head coach Dino Babers, who coached wide receivers at Baylor in 2008 and plans to run a Baylor-style offense at Bowling Green.
