has long been an exciting prospect for the future at Brentwood Academy and he should be the running back to replace current standout Larry Sanders II.
He has a good frame at 5’8-5’9 and pushing closer to 170 pounds and has great natural cutting ability, which should round out nicely as he continues to grow and become even more explosive as he matures.
He produces at a high level at the level he has been at and could find ways to contribute as a freshman to spell one of the best backs in the state in Sanders.
He has the tools to quickly become a standout weapon in the backfield for Brentwood Academy.

was outstanding as both a Running Back and in the Special Teams game for this year’s 7th Grade Tennessee Future Stars team.
Baker got things started from the jump on Special Teams with an excellent kick return to begin the game and set up what would-be Tennessee’s first scoring drive. On Tennessee’s second drive of the game, Baker showed what he could do coming out of the backfield. On a 4th-and-short from Tennessee’s own 44, Baker showed patience by setting up his blockers and then following them to scamper nearly 40-yards into Kentucky territory. Then, two plays later, Tennessee retook a lead they would not relinquish again.
On the ensuring kickoff following Tennessee’s Safety late in the opening half, which put them up 20-7, Baker would gash the Kentucky kickoff coverage and return the ball to the 42-yard line. Though the possession would not result in a score for Tennessee, he again showed how dangerous he is with the ball in his hands.

The ground attack for the 6th grade Tennessee Future Stars was paced by Running Back,

. Baker shouldered the load, running mainly between the tackles and behind an O-Line with some really impressive size for just being in the class of 2030. While he didn’t find the end zone, the presumed leading rusher (no official stats kept) kept the chains moving all day. Also contributed in special teams, highlighted by a big return on the second half kick off.
