Baylor University safety Colby McCalister is on track to return to the field 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 the injury, McCalister was becoming a significant player at Kansas State. His time there was cut short due to the injury, which led to his transfer to Baylor.

The preview for Baylor football's 2026 season emphasizes McCalister's readiness to rejoin the team. As a safety, he is focused on defensive coordination and coverage, aiming to regain his prior performance level. The outlook on his physical and mental readiness appears positive, although specific details regarding his return date or medical statistics were not disclosed.

This development is part of a larger series covering the upcoming Baylor football season, which looks at roster changes and player statuses as the new campaign approaches.
