4-star OLB T'Kevian Rockwell Commits to Baylor

(h/t BleachReport.com)
Baylor continues their hot streak on the recruiting trail, this time it's on the defensive side of the ball.  4-star prospect T'Kevian Rockwell committed to the Baylor Bears late Friday night.  This is a big time get for Baylor as Rockwell is considered a top 250 prospect overall by both Rivals and 247Sports.  He also had a nice offer list including Texas Tech, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, and even Michigan.  Rockwell possesses great speed for his size (6'0/205) which may lead to him playing safety in Waco.  I'll leave you with two reports on Rockwell.

Jason Howell, Rivals($):
"He has the frame to get bigger and while he is projected by many to be an outside linebacker he has the ability to spin up to safety and be a terrorizing figure as a big safety," Rivals Southwest regional analyst Jason Howell said. "He has legitimate track speed and covers a lot of ground very quickly. In the pass happy Big 12 he's the kind of guy who can be an every day player and has the potential to be used in a variety of ways.''
Scout.com:
Looks like he is shot out of cannon as he closes in on ball carriers. He closes ground quickly and relentlessly and does not slow down to impact. He makes good form tackles and explodes through the ball carrier. May be a little undersized, but a prospect can either play football or he can’t -- that’s the bottom line -- and Rockwell can play with the best of them. He is very physically gifted, one of the more impressive specimens in the DFW.
