2016 Updates:

S: Brandon Jones (1/24): Is announcing his top three schools soon. Baylor will get a visit from him 1/29.

Releasing my Final 3 Schools February 1st! #StayTuned

DT: Marcel Southall (2/1): Announced his final three. Baylor wasn't in it.

Father of 2016 TX DT Marcel Southall tells me Marcel will announce on signing day. Says he is deciding between #Miami #Texas & #Oklahoma

S: Brandon Jones (2/1): Announced his top three. To no surprise, it's Baylor, UT, and TAMU.

It's a Texas thing. Staying in State! Final 3! #NoOrder pic.twitter.com/FJbwbk6TNg

CB Parrish Cobb (2/2): Reportedly decommitted from OU today. Working to confirm that this is legit. If it is, then Baylor's got a great chance at keeping him in Waco.
UPDATE: It appears that Parrish Cobb will sign with Baylor on NSD!

4* CB Parrish Cobb has decommitted from Oklahoma and is set to sign with Baylor on NSD. Huge victory for #SicEm to keep local talent at home
