Baylor offensive tackle Dominic Desouza

WACO, Texas - Baylor confirmed Monday that offensive tackle Dominic Desouza has left the program, choosing to retire from football after graduating in December.

Desouza, 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, played one season for Baylor after transferring from City College of San Francisco in 2015 - he redshirted that year and started all 13 games in 2016.

This reduces the number of returning starters on Baylor's offensive line to three - Blake Blackmar, Ishmael Wilson and Patrick Lawrence. Desouza still could use the NCAA graduate transfer rule and be eligible to play for another program in 2017.
