Five-Star Guard Dylan Mingo Commits to Baylor to Reunite With Brother

A coaching change at North Carolina cleared the path for Baylor to land a top 2026 recruit.

Overview

  • Mingo chose Baylor on Monday, as first reported by ESPN, reuniting with his brother Kayden on the Bears' roster.
  • He reopened his recruitment after North Carolina hired Michael Malone on April 6 to replace Hubert Davis.
  • The 6-foot-5 guard is a consensus top-10 prospect, ranked No. 2 by Rivals and No. 6 by 247Sports.
  • He missed most of his senior year with injury but starred last summer on Nike’s EYBL with PSA Cardinals and won NBPA Top-100 Camp MVP.
  • He is Baylor's second 2026 pledge, joining four-star Elijah Williams, and gives Scott Drew a key piece after a 17-17 season.
