James Sylvester

Had offers from Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. out of high school, but didn't play in a single game for a 2-7 Baylor team that had a very young defense?

Something seems off about that.
He was an early enrollee. I can’t find any info about injury, but seems like there was either injury or something else (maybe red flag).

Here’s what was written about him as an early enrollee:
“The highest-rated recruit of Baylor’s 2020 class, the four-star defensive end joins the Bears from Newton High School. Sylvester is the 13th-ranked defensive end in the nation’s 2020 class, according to 247Sports. His 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame alone gives him the potential to be a star up front. Defensive end is a position where Baylor could use some help, meaning Sylvester could play a prominent role in his freshman year.”
