4-Star LB Broncs Baker Keeps WVU Football Among Top Schools

Even though he ended up not making it to the WVU Football Junior Day and instead spoke to the staff via Zoom, Broncs Baker included West Virginia in his latest update of his top schools list.

As of Feb. 6, WVU is up against Boise State, Michigan, Oregon State, Virginia Tech and Washington State for a unique blend of possible options.

Baker (6-foot-1 and 215 pounds) quoted a past WV Sports Now post on X to announce his original plans.

He previously publicized that he would reveal his top choices on Jan. 15, cutting down a list that had West Virginia competing with Arizona State and Kansas State. California and UNLV were also in the running at the time. West Virginia sent an offer to Baker on Nov. 24.

However, he also added the caveat that his decision may come down to what his brother does.

Easton Baker, a transfer linebacker out of Illinois, is on the hunt for a new program after deciding to enter the portal. Easton was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class. He experienced a redshirt season in 2024 and then appeared in one game during the 2025 season with Illinois.

Ranked as the No. 5 prospect in Utah by 247 Sports, Baker currently attends Stansbury High School in Tooele, Utah. He’s also considered the No. 28 linebacker in the country for his class and a top 400 player overall.
