Jad Darkazalli is a Baylor safety with fresh-upside energy
Jad Darkazalli enters Baylor as a 6-foot, 185-pound safety from Arlington’s Lamar HS, listed as a freshman on Baylor’s 2025 roster and a junior on the 2026 roster, which suggests he’s still in the early climb of his college career[2][7]. His value is more projection than production right now—Baylor and ESPN list him as active, but publicly available stat logs show no game statistics yet, so the appeal is about development, not résumé padding[1][3][5]. If you like rangy defensive backs with room to grow, he’s a name to watch; if you need an immediate impact starter, the tape-and-tracking evidence isn’t there yet[1][2][7].
