veteran App State tight end with a defensive edge and special-teams value
Zac Baker’s profile is built on versatility: he moved from defense to tight end at Appalachian State, bringing a 6-2, 238-pound frame and a linebacker’s mentality to the position, plus immediate special-teams value. His differentiator is toughness and adaptability rather than flash—he was viewed as a defensive-line/linebacker tweener, but that same physicality makes him a rugged fit for an offense that wants a willing blocker with upside in the middle of the field. He’s the kind of player coaches trust when they want grit, role discipline, and hidden yardage value.
