VMI’s experienced, low-profile tight end with developmental upside
Jonathan Baker has been a multi-year VMI presence at tight end, and the key thing to know is that he projects more as a reliable, system-fit piece than a headline-grabbing stat monster. VMI’s roster and historical notes show him as a two-year letterman who saw game action for the Keydets, which suggests experience, toughness, and trustworthiness in the room. He looks like the kind of player who helps an offense function with blocking, alignment versatility, and steady execution — the glue guy coaches love, even if the box score doesn’t scream for attention.
