Baker is a 6-3, 305, Junior offensive lineman from Eureka, MO. He has played in every game over the past 2 years with 19 starts including every game last season at center. Baker will be our starting center this year in what could be our best O-line in many years.

Nice interview with Baker from this spring:

Ang, love that you do this every year.

Regarding your statement that this could be our best line in many years, what is your reason for optimism? Our line pretty much sucked last year and we didn't sign anyone in the portal.

I realize we have some talented freshmen coming in, but they rarely produce on the oline that young.

I wish I shared your optimism. I think our online is our weakest link.

Much improved OLine. Morgan is a first rounder (needs to stay healthy). You have Moe who is now in his sophomore year and has had a year in our strength program. Baker is not an all PAC guy but graded out last year as one of our three top lineman. Savaiinea has moved to right tackle showing how good he is. We do need to find a guy inside and it could be Pulido (Bama recruit we pulled) or maybe Langi who played a bunch of snaps at tackle (not his natural position).

Of course they have to prove they are improved but I think we will see they are. You are not wrong to say they are our weakest position group on offense but I think they will be a pretty good group
