Max Baker brings size, versatility, and rising-value edge presence to Western Michigan
Max Baker, a 2026 Western Michigan signee from Detroit Edison, is a 6-foot-4, 250-plus-pound defensive lineman who earned consensus three-star buzz, All-State honors in 2024 and 2025, and a reputation for playing both on the edge and inside. Western Michigan’s staff specifically praised his size, athletic ability, and versatility—traits that matter because he projects as a plug-and-play developmental piece with multiple alignment options. If you want a high-upside DL who looks built to survive the MAC trenches and grow into more, he’s your guy.
