Desmyn Baker brings proven tackling production and playmaking upside to Southern Miss
Baker is a seasoned 6-2, 230-pound linebacker who has already shown he can be a productive, disruptive defender, finishing his 2023 WKU season with 46 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 sack, an interception, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup after returning from injury.[3][4] He also has a track record of impact plays going back to junior college and Rice, which suggests instincts, ball skills, and the kind of competitive edge coaches value in a linebacker room.[5][6][7] If your team wants a veteran, assignment-sound LB with turnover potential and a history of bouncing back, he fits the bill.[3][4]
