Bishop Carroll DE Malik Smith Commits to Baylor
Malik Smith, a 5A defensive end from Bishop Carroll High School, has committed to Baylor University. Smith, a Class of 2025 standout, chose Baylor over other Division I offers. The Golden Eagles' defensive end said Baylor's 3-4 scheme aligns with his skillset, providing an opportunity to contribute immediately. With a strong depth chart at defensive end, Smith believes he can develop into a key player for the Bears. Baylor's academic program also impressed Smith, who plans to study business. Smith previously held offers from Kansas and TCU, but ultimately chose Baylor for its athletic and academic opportunities.
