Local product with proven ball-production pedigree
Baca brings a strong New Mexico connection and a history of high-level production, including a standout high school career at La Cueva and safety stats at UNM that show tackling consistency and ball skills; ESPN lists 67 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions in his college profile. He fits teams that value instincts, physicality and reliable run support more than flashy measurables, and his background suggests a disciplined, competitive defender who already understands the program’s culture.
