Another Hager is heading to Baylor.

Austin Westlake junior linebacker Breckyn Hager, the younger brother of Baylor’s Bryce Hager, made a verbal commitment to the Bears on Thursday night.

Breckyn plans to graduate from high school in December and enroll at Baylor in January. The 6-3, 210-pound Hager is the 10th verbal commitment in Baylor’s 2015 class.

“The reason I’m coming is the coaching staff,” Breckyn said. “I like the way they’ve communicated with me from the start. They see talent real quick and know how to develop it.”

Breckyn has spent the last four years watching older brother Bryce develop into an all-Big 12 linebacker for the Bears, and made many trips to Floyd Casey Stadium to watch him play. They won’t play together since Bryce is entering his senior year.

“Bryce and I are real close,” Breckyn said. “But I made this decision on my own. I put a lot of deep thought into it.”

While Bryce is an inside linebacker, Breckyn is an outside linebacker who could play defensive end at the college level. Breckyn will be entering his third year as a starter for the Austin Westlake varsity this fall.
