Brandon Baker brings elite recruiting pedigree and rising SEC-level size to Texas’s offensive line
Baker is a former five-star talent who has already proven he can handle big-stage snaps, and his value is in the traits that translate beyond box scores: length, power, and the ability to hold the edge in pass protection. Texas lists him at 6-4, 305 as a junior, with 21 career games and 13 starts, while EA Sports gives him an 87 overall and strong blocking grades, signaling high-end physical tools and starter-level reliability. His recent move from tackle to guard suggests Texas trusts his versatility and wants to maximize his impact.
