At the helm was head coach Scott Drew, a longtime friend of FCAand 2019 recipient of the John Lotz “Barnabas” Award.

“The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is so excited for Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears,” said Shane Williamson, President and CEO of FCA. “Coach Drew’s dedication both on and off the court shines for Jesus Christ. Countless basketball players over the years have been impacted by him. His commitment to FCA has truly been a bright spot for our ministry. We congratulate Coach Drew and the Baylor Bears on their incredible season.”

Ben Johnson, FCA Metro Director/Heart of Texas, who nominated Scott Drew for the 2019 John Lotz “Barnabas” Award and presented it to the Baylor coach, said that under Drew’s leadership, several chaplains have ministered to the Baylor Bears over the years. Drew has also served as a featured speaker at the Baylor FCA Huddle.

“Scott Drew loves Jesus and serves his coaches and players,” Johnson shared. “He openly prays with them—win or lose—after the game.”
