Alabama Wide Receiver Javon Baker Transfers to Kentucky

Will Levis has a new pass-catching weapon for the 2022 season. Wide receiver Javon Baker will transfer from Alabama to the University of Kentucky. Baker committed to UK following visits to Lexington, Florida and Ole Miss.

A 6-foot-1, 196-pound athlete from Powder Springs, Ga., Baker was a four-star prospect and a top 200 player in the 2020 recruiting class. Rivals ranked Baker as the No. 20 wide receiver in America when he signed with the Crimson Tide. Thanks to the COVID-19 eligibility waiver, he can spend three seasons with the Wildcats in Lexington.
