About Reid
Expert Analysis
Tyler Stevens | Prep Redzone Scout
Baker is one of Anderson’s great defensive prospects, and he had a great showing in the snow game Thursday. He was second in tackles for Anderson with nine and recorded two TFLs and a sack. Baker has an explosive burst as he can get into the backfield quickly and lay a booming tackle. He is intelligent and doesn’t get out of place in his coverage. He has good speed and can cover both vertically and sideline to sideline.

Reid played well as a Sophomore in 2023 where he made 75 Tackles with 14.5 TFL and had 4 Sacks with 2 PD. His solid play helped the Anderson Raptors to a 13-win season where they advanced to the Division I Semifinals and held opposing defenses to 19.6 points per game. He plays as a MLB. Against the run, he quickly reads run/pass and locates the ball carrier. He plays with good leverage before making the tackle preventing a gain of significant yardage. Against the pass, he uses his very good athleticism to penetrate the LOS through the A gap. He exhibits solid closing speed in pursuit before finishing up with a sack.
