Southern Miss TE Luke Baker: intriguing size-speed upside with legit testing pop
Luke Baker’s best calling card is his athletic profile: at 6-5, 198 pounds, he posted a 4.83-second 40, a 4.28 shuttle, and a 36-inch vertical in ESPN’s recruiting testing, which points to a tight end with movement skills and downfield potential rather than a pure inline bruiser.[1] Southern Miss gets a developmental TE whose value is in versatility, burst, and mismatch upside; the catch is that his listed frame and recruiting-era profile suggest he was more projection than finished product, so he fits best with a staff willing to build him up physically and refine his game.[1]
