is the fourth and final defensive lineman who made our top 75. He caught my attention when breaking down freshman year film as he was very impressive as a pass rusher from the defensive end position. Baker has shown both the strength to bull rush straight through opposing offensive linemen and speed to run right past them on his way to the quarterback. He has also shown the ability to use his speed to run sideline to sideline to make t

. Baker played in mainly a reserve/JV role this past season but he shows some promise when watching his freshman year film. Kolin lines up at defensive end where he very reliable as a pass rusher, showing the speed to blow by opposing offensive tackles on his way to the quarterback. Against the run, Baker does a great job of reading the play then fighting through blocks to get to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle. Kolin should be a player to keep an eye on as he continues to develop over the next few years .

Read EvaluationArlen Harris | Prep Redzone Scout
Kolin is a stout 5’11 defensive tackle with a plethora of moves. He can be a handful versus guards that are not disciplined in their pass sets or don’t get off the ball quickly. His 235 pounds feels more like 25o because of the power he generates from his lower half. It’s impressive seeing Kolin pull out swim moves, accompanied by chops, rips and a mean spin move if he feels you over committing to a certain side. Web Dubois Academy got a real one and he is known to stack up some pancakes on the offensive side of the ball as well.
