In this Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019, photo, Baylor offensive lineman Sam Tecklenburg, center, thanks the fans after the team's win over Texas Tech in an NCAA college football game in Waco, Texas. 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)
