The Baylor Line returns without masks and capacity restrictions this year. First-year students will be preassigned to one of the first three home games to ensure they get to participate.
Matt Burchett, director of Student Activities, told Lariat TV News that all online first-year students from last year will be included in the pool of current freshmen and transfers who will be assigned to the first three home games.
“Two big objectives in the Baylor Line here is to ensure every first-year student, BU ‘25, has the opportunity to run the line and make sure that students who are BU ’24, our sophomores who were freshmen last year in the middle of the pandemic, knowing we had a very disrupted 2020 football season, to give them an opportunity to run the line as well,” Burchett said.
