In 2023, Baker had five catches for 26 yards for the 49ers. He also had two tackles on special teams.

Baker will move on to this third college destination after spending a redshirt season at UT-Martin in 2022. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

A Baltimore native, Baker graduated from St. Frances Academy, to which Charlotte head coach Biff Poggi famously has strong ties as the former head coach and financial benefactor.
