Baylor University safety Colby McCalister is set to rejoin the team as preparations for the 2026 season begin. He has successfully completed his recovery from a knee injury that had previously limited his playing time.

Before his injury, McCalister was making a name for himself at Kansas State. His playing career there was abruptly interrupted, which led to his transfer to Baylor. As a safety, he will focus on defensive coordination and coverage, aiming to return to his former level of performance.

McCalister's readiness to return is highlighted in the Baylor football season preview for 2026, which discusses various roster changes and player statuses. While there are no specific dates for his active return or detailed medical information, his positive outlook on both physical condition and mental preparation is noted.
