UCF wide receiver Javon Baker becomes Patriots’ first reported Top-30 visit

With college all-star games and the Scouting Combine in the rear-view mirror, and with the pro day cycle also nearing its completion, the New England Patriots have started the next phase of their pre-draft evaluation period. They have started setting up Top-30 visits.

The first prospect linked to the team that way is UCF wide receiver Javon Baker, according to a report by Tony Pauline of spoortskeeda.com.

Baker, 22, started his college career at Alabama but transferred to Central Florida after two seasons of uneven opportunity. His two years with the Knights, meanwhile, were more productive: appearing in 27 games, he caught 108 passes for 1,935 yards and 12 touchdowns, and was named a first-team All-Big 12 selection as a senior in 2023.
