Klopfenstein’s visit to Baylor in late March left a huge impression on him and sealed the deal to make his commitment.
“Everything about it, the facility was nice and the way I was interacting with coaches is what mainly got me,” Klopfenstein said. “They use their tight ends well.”
Matthew had upwards of 20 offers to choose from but landed on the Baylor Bears after visiting on March 24.
