The transfer portal is set to open on Friday Jan. 2 and will run through Jan. 16. Baylor has seen attrition following its 5-7 season. The Bears have lost some notable players on the defensive side of the football, and after losing QB Sawyer Robertson and their core playmakers like TE Michael Trigg, WR Josh Cameron, WR Ashtyn Hawkins, and WR Kole Wilson, Baylor will have to look toward the portal to bring in talent.

This transfer portal tracker will be updated every time Baylor loses a player or gains a player via the transfer portal.
