Tounde Yessoufou was Baylor’s do-it-all freshman wrecking crew
In the 2025-26 season, Yessoufou burst onto the scene for Baylor as a high-motor guard who averaged 17.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 steals while starting all 34 games, and he set Baylor freshman records for points, field goals made and field-goal attempts[1][6]. His calling card is relentless two-way pressure: he scores through contact, attacks the rim, rebounds like a wing with extra minutes, and brings real disruptive defense with hands active enough to pile up steals[1][5][7]. If you want toughness, physicality and a player who competes like every possession has a grudge, he’s your guy; if you need a polished, low-usage spacing specialist, that’s not his lane yet[6][7].
