Jayden Johnson Commits to Baylor as Kicker
Mallard Creek Mavericks Class of 2025 kicker Jayden Johnson has committed to Baylor University. Johnson, a 4A standout, chose the Bears for their strong kicking game and potential depth chart opportunity. The Baylor coaching staff's emphasis on developing kickers through the summer and into the season was a major factor in Johnson's decision. The Bears' academic program and resources also align with Johnson's goals. Johnson previously considered several Power Five programs, but ultimately decided Baylor was the best fit for his athletic and academic needs. Johnson's commitment marks a significant addition to the Baylor special teams unit. The Mavericks kicker will join the Bears in the fall of 2025. Johnson's commitment was announced on social media, marking the first commitment for the Baylor class of 2025.
