Cibola's Elijah Wilson Commits to Baylor
Elijah Wilson, a 6-foot-1 safety from the Class of 2027, has committed to Baylor University. Wilson, a standout defender for the Cibola Cougars, chose the Bears due to their 4-2-5 defensive scheme, which aligns with his athletic abilities. The Cougars' defensive coordinator has expressed interest in Wilson's versatility, citing potential opportunities for him to play nickelback or free safety. Baylor's strong academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business courses, also factored into Wilson's decision. Wilson had previously committed to New Mexico State in February but decommitted in May to explore other options. He is expected to enroll at Baylor in the fall of 2027. Wilson's commitment marks a significant addition to the Bears' secondary, which is expected to be a key component of their 2027 defense.
