Yes, you read that correctly. Tyler SR James (Jimmy) Landes is returning to Baylor for his senior season. Now, before y'all get too excited, here are 12 reasons why Landes should get your Heisman vote in 2015.
(UPDATE 5:02 pm 6/26/15: Thanks for bearing with me, y'all! Stuff happened. It's fixed. #Landes4Heisman. Carry on.)
12 Reasons to Vote #Landes4Heisman This Fall
1. He's a true athlete.
Landes played catcher for the 2012 and 2013 Baylor Baseball teams prior to switching back to his one true love: football. He had a .930 fielding percentage, and well as making 31 putouts and 9 assists in 15 games (4 starting).

That is perfect critical fumble recovery form, people.
3. 247 sleeps.
(There's a hyperlink in that heading, I promise..tricksy fonts are tricksy!) In their defense, however, Landes didn't truly begin to show he was serious about his Heisman campaign until mid-October, so....I guess we can let that slide....this time....
4. He works hard.

Well, I wasn't. Championships (and Heismans) are won in the offseason.
