Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Baron did it all for Newell-Fonda as a sophomore in 2025. He threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns against just one interception, rushed for 112 yards and four scores, and caught 32 balls for 344 yards and four TDs. On defense, Baron collected 32.0 tackles, 19 of which were solo stops, forced two fumbles, recovered a fumble and picked off a pair of passes. He averaged 13.8 yards on 13 kicks returns, punted and kicked off. When watching Baron’s 10th-grade highlight video, we witness a well-rounded football player that could have a future at multiple positions. The left-hander flashes upside as a quarterback with a quick release and arm strength allows for fitting the ball in tight windows. Baron also looks natural at receiver and defensive back with speed and quickness to beat opponents. The skill set works well in the return game.
