Danny Baker gives Dayton a steady leg in clutch spots
In the 2024 season, Danny Baker was a reliable all-around specialist for Dayton, going 9-for-11 on field goals and 23-for-25 on extra points while handling kickoff duties; he also hit a season-long 44-yard field goal, showing he can be trusted beyond chip shots[7][9]. What stands out isn’t just the numbers—it’s the stability: Dayton used him in pressure moments, including multiple scoring kicks in conference play, and his graduate-student experience gives a team a calm, low-drama option with proven game-day composure[6][10][13].
