High-upside Wake Forest tight end still waiting for his college breakout
Landen Baker arrived at Wake Forest as a 6-4, 231-pound TE from Southern Nash with real two-way athletic juice — he scored 9 receiving touchdowns, added 91 rushing yards and 2 more scores as a senior in high school, and even drew Division I baseball interest for a high-80s fastball. Wake Forest’s roster lists him as a redshirt freshman in 2024 at 6-2, 241, and he did not see game action in 2023 or 2024, so the story here is more projection than production. If your team wants a developmental tight end with size, versatility, and upside, Baker is a sneaky “bet on the traits” candidate.
