Baker started all 13 games as a sophomore, earning All Big 12 honorable mention from coaches. After sustaining a knee injury, he missed the first two games last season but played in 10 overall. In 2014, he was named preseason All-Big 12 by Athlon (second team) and Phil Steele (fourth team). 

Sophomore Jason Osei is Baker's listed backup. 

The Bears lost for the first time this season on Saturday in a 41-27 defeat to West Virginia on the road. 

I'm in the hands/care of the best people around. This is all a part of a bigger plan. Can't wait for our team to fight back #BGOD #SICEM
