Go to Baylor - it is a great school. If you are good enough, you will work your way into the lineup. Think education first!

That is a question you need to answer for yourself. Baylor is a division 1 school in a big time conference (The Big 12). If you think that you can make a name for yourself at a smaller school and you really believe that you are ready to start as a freshman in college then go to the smaller school. If you are that good of a player to get recruited and offered a scholarship to go to a Big 12 school, why pass up that opportunity especially when you are coming in as a freshman (are you coming in as a freshman)?

Go to Baylor and learn the system the first year. There are no guarantees, even at the small school. They can change their mind and find someone better at your position. This is called "going in a different direction". You can learn a lot in a bigger program. The competition will be tremendous. But follow your heart. Not your head.

this ? is right up my alley.
I went to a private college in Mo because they offered me a chance to start as a true freshmen when everyone else didn't even want to offer me a scholarship right off.
I started all four years but I got no exposure and when my four years where up I couldn't get even a arena team to look at me and I'm 6-8 345. Go to the big school, take your red shirt, work your *** off and that way you can get more exposure and if down the road you decide you might want to transfer you have the extra year to work with. good luck

Well, its not like Baylor is a football powerhouse, so if you want to play, take the scholarship...Lots of players in the NFL went to smaller schools(Jerry Rice, L. Tomlinson, Ben Roethlisberger, etc...)...However, if the coaches say well, you won't start this year, but the possibility is you will next year, it might make sense to go to Baylor and ride the bench for the year, and then start...

Go to BAYLOR YOUNG MAN. Big school in big 12 a good start, if you think your good the sun will shine on you sooner or later. Small school is too small to be notice by the NFL once in a while they will, but not too often.

Baylor is not known for their football program, so if you are looking to work on your game/skills-- not the place to go. You could go to that smaller school, try to make a name for yourself and transfer to a larger school after your freshman/sophmore year. Or just pay to go to UT. Enjoy college man!!

take Baylor. You will get a chance to play eventually, and you sound like a good football player, and I think you will do good.

Go to the small school since they will offer you a chance to start and after 2 or 3 years if you're good enough you can transfer to a larger university like LSU.
