In a significant move for both Baylor University and former Auburn University quarterback Walker White, the talented signal-caller has officially committed to Baylor after entering the transfer portal earlier this month. White announced his decision on Instagram, expressing excitement about joining the Bears and working under new offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.
White, a highly-rated recruit from the Class of 2024, was ranked as the No. 5 quarterback nationally and the No. 41 overall player by 247Sports. Although he had limited playing time at Auburn, appearing in just one game during his freshman season, his potential remains undeniable. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 225 pounds, White possesses the dual-threat capabilities that make him an asset in any offensive scheme.
Baylor’s offense struggled last season, finishing 101st in scoring with an average of just 23.1 points per game. However, with White’s arrival, the Bears are looking to revitalize their attack after a promising finish to the season, averaging 34.7 points per game during their six-game winning streak. The team finished with an 8-4 record and is preparing for the upcoming Texas Bowl against LSU.
One of the most intriguing aspects of White’s commitment is that he will face his former team, Auburn, in the opening game of the 2025 season. This matchup promises to be a highly anticipated reunion as both teams look to establish themselves early in the campaign.
As Baylor continues to build its roster for next season, White’s addition marks a crucial step in their quest for offensive improvement. His commitment not only strengthens Baylor’s quarterback room but also sets up a compelling narrative as he prepares to take on Auburn once again.
With this transfer, Walker White aims to make a splash in Waco while proving that he can thrive in a new environment. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching how this young quarterback develops under Coach Spavital’s guidance and how he performs when he faces off against his former team next fall.
