Spring Branch (TX) Smithson Valley High School 2027 safety Noah Johnson‍ has committed to Baylor. He becomes the third safety commit in the 2027 class, joining Davontrae Kirkland‍ and Devin Watkins‍.

BAYLOR 2027 RECRUITING COMMITMENT LIST

Baylor defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman extended the offer on May 7 and has been his lead recruiter during this process, telling Johnson he could thrive in his defensive scheme and at Baylor.

“He said he likes how I’m a ballhawk with speed and the physicality I bring with it,” Johnson said of Klanderman’s evaluation. “He also described how he sees my game would fit well as an open field safety at Baylor. He’s a great coach who knows a lot about the game. It’s always great talking and learning from a high-caliber coach like himself.”

His verified athleticism and size, with 4.4 speed, are a big reason the Bears have pushed so hard to land him. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder finished his junior season with 58 tackles, 12 pass breakups and two interceptions.

Johnson is currently unranked nationally and chose Baylor over offers from BYU, Northwestern, UTSA, Wyoming, New Mexico, San Diego State and North Texas, among others.

Who is Klandeman?

In all seriousness, when defending a coach's honor on the interweb, it's best to get their name right

interesting. anyway what's the point of being a fan if your only going to hate. Honestly. It doesn't make any sense. I am not happy with Dave Aranda, no one is. Actively hating on every positive thing that happens to supposedly your team doesn't make any sense to me, but it's a free country dude, say what you want.

FYI: Clay Fuller also was from Smithson Valley. He's Kim Mulkey's don-in-law and was a WR for Baylor in the early 2010's.

Just put him/her on ignore. Makes scrolling this website far more enjoyable.

It doesn't invalidate mine. If you want to talk about how awesome this or that coach is on the Internet, you better get their name right.

But I agree that it doesn't matter in the sense that this dude will be fired when Dave gets fired which will hopefully be towards the end of this year

Certainly didn't say how awesome he was.

I said he's obviously a better talent evaluator than the OP.

Why that point is even up for debate floors me.

Don't be surprised if he follows Dave. Not that it would be all that great. Just saying.
