The Baylor Bears continued their spring workouts Tuesday and defensively they are seeing improvement over last season.

The Bears have worked hard to be a more physical defense since the end of last year. They are bigger and stronger, you can see that as they practice this spring. They also have the addition of some key guys like transfer James Lockhart from Texas A&M who is eligible to play this season.

Lockhart spoke with the media after practice and was very upbeat about the Bears' play so far in spring workouts. Lockhart says Blake Lynch is making a difference at safety. A healthier secondary overall has also made a difference.

New Baylor defensive line coach Frank Okam also spoke to the media and says his veteran defensive linemen have stepped up in a leadership role. Okam expects them to have a defensive line that can be one of the best units on the team.
