Ish Wainright—the only Baylor basketball player to make the NCAA Tournament four times—will use a fifth year of eligibility to play football at Baylor. That news was first reported by Colt Barber of SicEm365. Jessica Morey of KCEN let us know he’ll play tight end.
Guessing how Wainright’s skills on the basketball court will translate to the football field seems kind of like wild guesswork. ODB will never shy away from wild guesswork. I grew up a Chiefs fan and watched Tony Gonzalez. He’s the best tight end in NFL history. He played college basketball and football at Cal.
