The No. 78 player nationally, Baker has been committed to North Carolina for well over a year, committing to the Tar Heels on June 27, 2023. However, when the university fired Mack Brown last month, Baker took a step back and looked at his options, primarily Penn State and LSU. He would take an official visit to Happy Valley for the Nittany Lions' regular-season finale against Maryland.

Baker and his family then decided to pass on signing with a program during the early signing period and chose to wait and see who the Tar Heels hired as their next head coach..

Fast forward to Thursday, and eight-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick is the new leader of the Tar Heels. Belichick and Baker had a phone call on Thursday evening.

Now that the two sides have discussed the future of the Tar Heels and the fit that Baker could have in their offense going forward, the four-star prospect is ready to make his final decision before enrolling at wherever he chooses next month.
