This had many people talking about him online, including Vols On SI writers Caleb Sisk and Najeh Wilkins.
"Derrick Baker with an absolute DOT @derrickbakerQb1," Sisk stated in an X post online. Wilikins was quick to share his take on the throw as well by stating, "I’m telling y'all Milton QB Derrick Baker is fr. What a dot."
Another writer for Vols On SI would detail the toughness the Milton QB showed, as Shayne pickering took to X. "Nobody… and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOBODY… will question the toughness that 2027 QB Derrick Baker will bring to whichever college program he chooses. @CoachBenReaves will have a great QB to lead his team as a young, yet talented, team matures with more games played."
