Former Texas commit Armani Winfield signs with Baylor

Baylor wins the in-state battle for four-star WR Armani Winfield.

Four-star wide receiver Armani Winfield made headlines after decommitting from the Horns in the middle of the season finale against Kansas State.

Schools like Michigan State and Baylor have since made a strong push for the Lewisville wideout over the past few weeks. Texas got back into the hunt after landing Winfield’s buddy and former five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers from the portal.

Despite making up some ground late, Winfield decided to take his talents to Baylor over Texas and Michigan State.

Winfield is ranked as the No. 25 wide receiver in the country and No. 32 overall prospect in the state of Texas for the 2022 cycle, according to 247Sports composite.

The 6-foot-2 wide receiver tallied over 2,700 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns in his high school career.

Texas currently has the No. 5 ranked 2022 recruiting class but only has one wide receiver commit in Brenen Thompson. Steve Sarkisian is looking to add more talent to the wide receiver room behind freshman All-American Xavier Worthy.
