Ohio State’s rangy, disruptive linebacker with sideline-to-sideline juice
In his Ohio State career, Jerome Baker built a reputation as a fast, instinctive linebacker who filled up the stat sheet: 158 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble across 2015–2017. He was more than a box-score defender, though—his best trait was closing speed, which let him erase plays in space and survive against spread offenses. The main fit question is size versus role, but if you want an aggressive, high-motor playmaker who attacks rather than reacts, Baker is your guy.
