Soon after graduate student Johnny Keefer committed to Baylor during his junior year of high school, his dad called head coach Mike McGraw and asked how he could improve before entering the program. Keefer, a devoted athlete and strong student, was advised to be dedicated to school. As McGraw recalls, it was a “bingo,” as everything clicked.
“I’m a coach, and athletic performance is important to any coach, but there’s a great amount of pride when you think of a kid who’s been a two-time All-American, represented the United States on the Arnold Palmer Cup Team and represented [Baylor] on a national level every summer all across the country,” McGraw said.
