High-upside Baylor safety with a physical, playmaking résumé
Josh Lair entered Baylor as a former four-star safety with a strong high-school production profile and a reputation as a hard-hitting, disruptive defender, piling up 106 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 3 forced fumbles, 3 interceptions, and 3 sacks at Fort Bend Marshall. Baylor’s roster lists him as a 6-1, 191-pound safety, but he redshirted in 2024 and did not see game action, so the key question is development and availability rather than proven college production. He fits best for a team seeking an aggressive, versatile back-end defender with upside if he stays healthy and sharpens his college transition.
