Standing next to Techlenburg are JaMycal Hasty, left, and Jim Threet, Tecklenburg is among 10 current seniors who redshirted in 2015, when Baylor was coming off back-to-back Big 12 titles and had its last eight-game winning streak. There is also sixth-year receiver Chris Platt, who was playing as a redshirt that season and got an extra year of eligibility after a season-ending knee injury four games in the 2017 season. They all stayed in the aftermath of a sprawling sexual assault scandal that led to coach Art Briles getting fired before the 2016 season. (Rod Aydelotte/Waco Tribune-Herald via AP)
