Three takeaways from recent events in college sports:
The Ish Wainright experiment continues
Ish Wainright, who just completed four seasons on the Baylor basketball team, was in pads Tuesday during spring practice as he starts his evolution toward becoming a football player next season. Coach Matt Rhule acknowledged approaching Wainright about the change and selling him on the possibilities.
“Obviously, he has the frame,” Rhule said. “He looks like an NFL tight end. He’s got real good hands. From what I’ve seen, he hasn’t been afraid to block.”
The basketball player to tight end conversion is nothing new in the NFL.
