The 2026 Senior Bowl is shaping up to have a distinct Baylor Bears flavor. Wide receiver Josh Cameron, quarterback Sawyer Robertson, and tight end Michael Trigg have all earned invitations to the prestigious all-star showcase, set for January 31 in Mobile, Alabama. It’s a big moment for a trio that helped define Baylor football over the last few seasons-and now they’ll get the chance to showcase their talents in front of NFL scouts on a national stage.
This marks the first time since 2022 that a Baylor player has been invited to the Senior Bowl, when defensive lineman Siaki Ika represented the program. Now, three Bears are headed to Mobile, and each one brings a different kind of firepower to the table.
Josh Cameron: The Steady Climber
Let’s start with Josh Cameron, the Cedar Park native who quietly built one of the most productive careers by a receiver in Baylor history. Over 53 games, he hauled in 170 receptions for 2,236 yards and 19 touchdowns-numbers that don’t just look good on paper, they reflect a player who consistently delivered.
Cameron’s senior season in 2025 was his best yet. He caught 69 passes for 872 yards and nine touchdowns, ranking ninth in single-season receptions and tied for 12th in touchdown grabs in school history.
That followed a strong junior campaign where he posted 754 yards and 10 touchdowns on 52 catches. By the time he wrapped up his career, he was top-11 in school history in receiving yards (11th), receptions (8th), and touchdowns (8th).
Cameron may not be the flashiest name in this Senior Bowl class, but his reliability, route running, and sure hands make him a strong candidate to impress in Mobile.
Sawyer Robertson: The Breakout QB
Then there’s Sawyer Robertson-the 6-foot-4, 220-pound quarterback from Lubbock who took the reins of the Baylor offense and never looked back. After serving as a backup in 2023, Robertson stepped into the starting role in Week 3 of the 2024 season and held it down with authority. That year, he threw for 3,071 yards and 28 touchdowns with just eight picks, leading Baylor to an eight-win season capped by a six-game win streak to close the regular season.
But it was 2025 when Robertson truly elevated his game. He put up 3,681 passing yards and 31 touchdowns, adding three scores on the ground. His command of the offense, poise under pressure, and ability to stretch the field made him one of the most efficient and dangerous quarterbacks in the Big 12.
By the numbers, Robertson’s Baylor career is among the best ever for a Bears QB. He ranks fourth in passing yards (7,616), fourth in touchdowns (61), third in completions (599), and fourth in total offense (7,932). He also holds the top spot for single-season completions (304 in 2025), and his 2025 campaign ranks fifth in passing yards and fourth in passing touchdowns in program history.
He’s also a finalist for the Campbell Trophy-essentially the academic Heisman-which will be awarded on December 9 in Las Vegas. That’s a testament to the full package Robertson brings: smarts, leadership, and top-tier production.
Michael Trigg: The Matchup Nightmare
Finally, there’s Michael Trigg-the 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end who made a major impact in just two seasons at Baylor after transferring from Ole Miss. Trigg brought size, athleticism, and a receiver’s skill set to the tight end position, and it showed every time he lined up.
In 2025, Trigg had a breakout season with 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns-leading all Baylor tight ends in receptions, yards, and TDs in a single season. He followed up a solid 2024 debut where he caught 30 passes for 395 yards and three scores. In just two years in Waco, he became the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards among tight ends (1,089), and second in both receptions (80) and touchdowns (9).
When you factor in his full collegiate career-including his time at USC and Ole Miss-Trigg totaled 108 catches for 1,419 yards and 14 touchdowns over 38 games. He’s the kind of versatile weapon NFL teams crave: too fast for linebackers, too physical for safeties, and a nightmare in the red zone.
What It Means
For Baylor, this trio heading to the Senior Bowl is more than just individual recognition-it’s a sign of the program’s growing ability to develop NFL-caliber talent across multiple positions. Cameron, Robertson, and Trigg each took different paths to get here, but they all arrive in Mobile with something to prove and the tools to make a lasting impression.
The Senior Bowl has long been a proving ground for future pros. And come January 31, don’t be surprised if all three Bears make some noise.
