Early years

Baker was born on March 27, 1998, in Panama City, to two United States Army veterans.[1] He was raised in Hephzibah, Georgia,[2] and attended Hephzibah High School, where he participated in football and track and field, playing as a cornerback and wide receiver in the former.[1][3] As a junior in football, he made several key plays in their regular season finale to help them reach the state playoffs, being named The Augusta Chronicle player of the week.[4] As a senior in track, Baker won the state championship in the long jump and was named "Boys' track athlete of the year" by the Chronicle.[5]

Baker began attending Georgia Southern University in 2016, and was a walk-on member of their football team.[5] He spent his true freshman season as a redshirt.[1] In 2017, his second year with the program, he played in 12 games, appearing on 377 snaps, and recorded 18 tackles and one interception along with a forced fumble.[1] The following season, Baker appeared in nine matches and recorded six tackles and one interception, while appearing on 231 plays.[1]

As a junior in 2019, Baker played in all 12 games and started three, recording two pass breakups as well as 23 tackles, while seeing action on a total of 280 snaps.[1] He saw his first action as a full-time starter in 2020,[6] starting all 12 games and posting 34 tackles, seven pass breakups and an interception.[1] Baker was named third-team all-conference at the end of the season by Pro Football Focus (PFF).[1]

After receiving an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Baker opted to return to Georgia Southern for a sixth season in 2021.[6] He started eight games and appeared in a total of 10, and tallied while playing 499 snaps 32 tackles, eight pass breakups[7] and a forced fumble.[1] He finished his college career with 111 tackles, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and 18 pass breakups.[8]
