Fall camp begins next week and we are getting closer to wrapping up our list of the top 25 most important players for Baylor's 2026 success. 4 is running back Dawson Pendergrass, who is set to lead the backfield this season with the loss of Bryson Washington. Why Pendergrass is important in 2026After losing Bryson Washington to Auburn, Pendergrass is back and ready to lead the room. "Now, we wish Bryson well in his future endeavors, but I think we got a really, really talented room," said RB coach Khenon Hall this spring. So, Dawson really, he's an all-around player, and I think those other two guys are too."
