Baylor was represented on Saturday in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2022, as former standout athletes Robert Griffin III and Suzie Snider Eppers had their names enshrined forever. The former Bears were among six other athletes, including notable names like Tony Parker, Chris Bosh and Bob Beamon.

Both RGIII and Snider Eppers reflected on their days in Waco and painted a picture of what it was like in their respective eras. One was Baylor football’s most electric player ever as the only Heisman winner in school history, while the other pioneered women’s sports in an unimaginable way, being the first female athlete to be on scholarship and later setting amazing records.
