Arkansas State freshman safety Demarcus Baker brings length, versatility, and upside
Demarcus Baker is a 2025 Arkansas State freshman safety from Hattiesburg, Miss., listed at 6-foot-1 and about 183-190 pounds, with recruiting profiles showing he signed with the Red Wolves in December 2024 and was evaluated as a defensive back/cornerback prospect. His appeal is the classic young-safety package: size, range, and position flexibility, which can make him useful early on in subpackages and special teams while he develops. The key question is not talent—it’s how quickly his technique and play speed catch up to the college game.
