2023 wide receiver Jakevian Rodgers decommits from Baylor

Daingerfield (Texas) wide receiver Jakevian Rodgers has decommitted from Baylor, he announced Wednesday on Twitter.

Rodgers chose the Bears in December over another offer from UTSA, and he has recently picked up offers from Louisiana Tech and Louisiana-Monroe.

“I want to thank the Baylor coaching staff for recruiting me but I would like to see what other schools have in store for me,” Rodgers wrote. “Baylor will definitely be an option in the future but I want to take it one step at a time. I had long thought about this but I think this is best for me and my family. With that being said, I will be decommitting from Baylor.

Rodgers was one of nine pledges in the Bears’ class, all of whom hail from the state of Texas. Baylor’s class currently ranks No. 18 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12, according to the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.

The 6-foot, 160-pound Rodgers played on both sides of the ball for Daingerfield as a junior, totaling 28 catches for 580 yards and five touchdowns. He added 35 tackles, 11 pass breakups and two interceptions on defense as well.
