Justin Baker Schedules Tennessee Visit

In this story:
Buford High School running back Justin Baker has been one of the most underrated backs in the southeast. He played behind former five-star running back Justice Haynes, who got legitimate snaps as a true freshman at Alabama this season. Baker also played in an aerial attack during his junior season but has still put up numbers.
The Tennessee Volunteers keyed in on Baker early in his recruiting process and spent a lot of time and energy on him. He committed to the Vols on October 25 and hasn't wavered in that decision since. Baker will return to Knoxville, Tennessee, this weekend for another unofficial visit.

Baker had attention from Georgia, Michigan, South Carolina, and Penn State but ultimately felt that Tennessee offered him the best fit. Running backs coach Jerry Mack gets his first target of the class, continuing an excellent year for him as a coach and on the recruiting trail. The running back room is really strong on Rocky Top right now, and they have another strong addition.
