Brian Nance brought Baylor edge toughness and production as a senior DE
In the 2017 season, Brian Nance was one of Baylor’s more dependable defensive line pieces, posting a career-best 33 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks while appearing in 38 games with 10 starts. At 6-3 and 250 pounds, he offered a sturdy, physical frame and a reputation for grind-it-out consistency rather than flashy splash plays. The big-career clue: he was trusted enough to wear a single-digit jersey, a Baylor nod for tough, influential players. If you want a hard-nosed, experience-driven edge defender with real production and leadership traits, Nance fits the bill.
