Baylor freshman guard VJ Edgecombe has been named the Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week after an impressive performance, averaging 25.5 points in wins over Kansas State and Utah. This marks his first Big 12 weekly award and makes Edgecombe the first Baylor player to earn this honor since Yves Missi last season. He scored 30 points against Kansas State and 21 against Utah, becoming the first Baylor freshman to hit 20+ points in consecutive conference games since 2023. In his last five games, he maintains a top-5 standing in the league with an average of 19.6 points per game, leading the Bears during a challenging time with a limited roster.
Sunday was a big day for Lone Peak standout defensive back Landan Goff. He announced his commitment to play for the BYU football program, and he submitted his papers to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Goff is coming off a fantastic senior season where he tallied 64 tackles, 7 interceptions, 4 forced fumbles, 15 pass breakups, and 2 kickoff return touchdowns. He led Lone Peak to the 6A State Championship game where the Knights came up just short against Corner Canyon 30-27

Goff said the BYU coaching staff evaluated everything they could, including his reaction after losing the state championship game. “Coach Sitake, for example, gave me an example of how he watched how I reacted when we lost our game in the state final,” Goff said. “They pay attention to everything, not just your highlight reel. Coach Hill told me that he and his staff watched virtually every minute of every game I played in high school.”
Goff lined up an official visit and announced his commitment to the Cougars after the visit. “Honestly the best part of the visit was getting to know the staff,” Goff said. “Everyone is so authentic, nice, and helpful. From the people that helped with the logistics of the visit, to the facilities staff, to the coaches. Everyone is just so positive and kind. You can tell that Coach Sitake has the culture completely dialed in at BYU
