Explodes off the line of scrimmage with good pad level and hand placement to create leverage and quickly shed blocks, penetrating the backfield effectively. Can move from the 3-7 tech, causing havoc with his speed and power. I expect Baker to showcase his talents in 2024. </p>   <p>Note - 5.0 40</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jaquavianbaker5/status/1802079679177687403 </div></figure>     <p>[player_tooltip player_id='403107' first='Aaron' last='Austin III'] is a versatile athlete, possessing a very good sideline-to-sideline motor that showcases his speed, athleticism, and fluidity. Austin's athleticism and change of direction enable him to transition quickly and get vertical with the wide receiver or stay inside the hip pocket on a break without allowing any room for separation. Solid recovery speed and physicality, coupled with notable ball skills and good use of hands. In summary, he displays good read-and-react skills, highlighted by his change of direction and acceleration, enabling him to attack downhill vs the run or arrive at the catch point to disrupt the pass and force a PBU. I anticipate that Austin will become one of the top prospects in Arkansas by the time his senior year commences.</p>   <p>Note – 4.0 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/primetimeTrey3/status/1765953189289795776 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1039939' first='Bo' last='Mosley'] brings versatility due to his ability to play defensive back, safety and wide receiver.
