Why Sawyer Robertson Stayed: The QB Leading Baylor's New Era

While quarterbacks across college football chase new opportunities in the transfer portal, Sawyer Robertson chose to stay at Baylor. After experiencing the lowest lows and highest highs of college football, he's ready to lead the Bears into a new season with a completely different mindset.
In this revealing conversation, Robertson shares why he turned his focus from proving doubters wrong to proving believers right. From learning under Mike Leach (who never once talked football during recruiting calls) to discovering his identity beyond the game, Sawyer opens up about the journey that transformed him from a struggling freshman to a confident leader.

He talks about that magical homecoming game at Texas Tech – driving past his high school with 50 family members in the stands – and how moments like these confirmed he's exactly where he's supposed to be. But more importantly, he discusses the foundation that kept him grounded through both three-win seasons and bowl eligibility: faith, family, and understanding the difference between conditional and unconditional love.

As Baylor enters a new season with championship aspirations, Robertson represents something bigger than wins and losses. He's proof that sometimes the hardest path – staying, fighting, and growing where you're planted – creates the strongest leaders. This is the story of a quarterback who chose loyalty over opportunity, growth over comfort, and faith over fear.
