Lynch also recalled the moment he realized he'd be reunited with his buddy in the pros.
"As soon as I saw him get drafted, I texted him right away and said, 'It's time to go to work,' " Lynch said. "I was just happy because I was like, 'Damn, I've got Harrison with me. I can't ask for much more.' "
The pair of defenders first met during the Baylor spring game ahead of the 2017 campaign. That season, the Bears went on to finish 1-11.
Hand acknowledged that their freshman season, in which their first and only win came against Kansas in November, was "a struggle" but that players remained focused.
"We still didn't let that bring our spirits down. We still went into every game thinking we were gonna win, giving it our all," Hand said. "The energy was always there, no matter what it was. We were always going to bring it."
According to Lynch, bringing the positivity is something Hand's always done well.
Lynch called his teammate "the funny one," explaining that their lockers sat near each other at Baylor.
"There was always some type of way he could bring the energy up or bring something to practice to make people laugh and stuff like that," Lynch said. "Whatever the situation was, if Harrison was there, someone was smiling. That's why everyone loved Harrison."
