Alabama transfer Javon Baker won’t join Kentucky Wildcats

Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats had a ton of success in the transfer portal, but not everything works out.

Unfortunately, things appear to have broken down with Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver transfer Javon Baker, who announced his transfer to Kentucky back in January.

Now, KSR and Cats Illustrated report that Baker will not be joining the Wildcats this fall. It’s unclear what exactly happened that led to this.

The 6-foot-2 Baker is a former 4-star recruit and was the No. 34 overall wide receiver in the class of 2020 via 247 Sports Composite.
