Overview
- Dylan Mingo committed to Baylor on Monday, joining his older brother Kayden, who transferred from Penn State earlier in April, as ESPN first reported.
- The five-star guard reopened his recruitment after North Carolina fired Hubert Davis and hired Michael Malone on April 6.
- Mingo is widely ranked in the top 10 of the 2026 class and earned NBPA Top-100 Camp MVP after a strong Nike EYBL run with PSA Cardinals.
- He missed most of his senior season with an ankle injury, and UNC-focused analysts said Malone’s staff weighed that, subpar three-point shooting, and a high NIL cost before moving on.
- Baylor adds Mingo to a 2026 class that includes four-star Elijah Williams in what outlets describe as a major recruiting win as the Bears regroup from a 17-17 season.
