Baylor Secures Transfers Matthew Fobbs-White, Samu Taumanupepe

Tulane linebacker Matthew Fobbs-White has committed to Baylor after entering the transfer portal, marking a significant loss for the Green Wave as he was a key pass rusher with 21 tackles, four sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures in the recent season. Fobbs-White's departure comes as Tulane is already facing depth issues in their defensive line, amplifying the need for experienced pass rushers. Meanwhile, Baylor has also secured Texas A&M transfer nose tackle Samu Taumanupepe, who brings three years of eligibility after limited playing time with the Aggies. Taumanupepe is expected to fill a critical gap in the Bears' defensive line following previous departures. Both players represent strategic additions for Baylor as they enhance their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Fobbs-White's previous relationship with the Baylor coaching staff aided in his decision, while Taumanupepe's commitment reflects Baylor's ongoing efforts to solidify their front line.
