Baker Trending Towards Texas?
According to the 247Sports Composite, Baker is the nation’s highest-rated offensive tackle in the nation’s 2024 recruiting cycle. Unfortunately for Texas, Baker’s recruitment of course is heavily contested with Alabama, Georgia and USC among some of the other 27 schools who have extended an offer his way.
While Texas does have competition for Baker, it appears that the Longhorns have positioned themselves well. In fact, currently, four 247Sports experts have predicted that Baker will commit to Texas with their crystal ball entries – with two of these entries being submitted earlier today.
247Sports National Scouting Analyst Gabe Brooks has praised Baker’s athleticism, which compounds well with Baker’s 6’5″ and 285 pound frame, and rates the Mater Dei product as a potential multi-year starter with early NFL Draft potential.
If Baker chooses Texas on Sunday, he will become Texas’s highest-rated commit on the offensive line since 2022 (a true testament to offensive line coach Kyle Flood’s ability to earn pledges on the line) when Texas reeled in Devon Campbell and Kelvin Banks Jr.
