Josh Baka gives UAB a veteran, steady free-safety presence
Baka enters UAB as a 6'1" free safety with veteran experience and a solid all-around profile, earning a 75 overall in EA SPORTS College Football 26. His value is more about reliability and field awareness than splashy production: StatMuse lists 66 solo tackles, 37 assists, and 1 fumble recovery across three seasons at Kent State, which suggests a player who can help stabilize the back end and fit a defense that wants dependable tackling and sound positioning.
