Baylor defensive lineman Devonte Tezino is out for the remainder of the season with a leg injury sustained against Prairie View A&M, coach Dave Aranda confirmed after Saturday’s game. The injury leaves Baylor with two starters lost for the season, joining safety Jacob Redding, whose season-ending injury was also identified in a report by SicEm365.
Tezino was hurt on Baylor’s second offensive play from scrimmage when a Prairie View A&M offensive lineman made a cut block. Tezino called for medical personnel and was later taken from the field by cart. Aranda said the fifth-year senior from Killeen had been playing the best football of his career.
Tezino began the season with two sacks and a tipped pass that led to an interception against Auburn. He had dealt with injuries last fall but played in all 12 games, starting seven. He recorded 24 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup that season.
In 29 games at Baylor, Tezino has made 56 tackles. Baylor has depth on its defensive line despite the loss.
