Bio

2014: Baker ranked third on the team in rushing yards in his junior season. He started games against Lenoir-Rhyne (11/1) and Wingate (11/15) and appeared in seven other contests.  Baker tallied 515 yards on the ground on 93 carries. He scored six touchdowns and averaged 5.5 yards a touch. Baker scored his first Carson-Newman touchdown in the Eagles' opener with Edinboro.  However, it wasn't until the second half of the year that he broke out.  He collected his first career 100-yard day with a 133-yard performance on homecoming against North Greenville to go along with his first career multi-touchdown day.  He scored three times against the Crusaders. Baker followed that up with a 179-yard performance against Lenoir-Rhyne (11/1) as the Eagles rally fell short against the #4 Bears. 

Prior to Carson-Newman: A two-year starter who led the MACJC in rushing as a freshman.  He had 1,123 yards that year with 12 touchdowns in nine games.  His sophomore year, he became the fifth Ranger with more than 2,000 yards rushing in his JUCO career.  He was a junior college All-American following his sophomore season.  Helped NMCC to a Texas Brazos Valley Bowl Championship over Kilgore CC and a MACJA division title.  

High School: A four-year starter at Columbus High School, he had at least 1,300 yards rushing in every season of his high school career.  Also totaled 50 rushing TDs in his four years. 

Personal: The son of Claudia Baker, he's studying physical education at Carson-Newman.  He was also recruited by South Alabama, Missouri, Baylor, Toledo and Southern Miss.
