Ayden Baker is a massive, injury-hit Columbia DL with proven disruptive upside
In 2025, Ayden Baker was limited to three games because of injury, but his 2024 season showed real two-way trench value: he played all 10 games, posted five tackles and a sack, and even blocked an extra point against No. 18 Lafayette. At 6-foot-6, he brings uncommon length and size to Columbia’s defensive front, with the frame to affect passing lanes and special teams. The key question is durability, but when healthy he looks like a useful depth piece with developmental upside and a physical edge that can fit a team needing line-of-scrimmage toughness.[2][1]
