2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Javon Baker, WR, UCF

Related Topics: Icon Sportswire

Central Florida wide receiver Javon Baker has steadily been gaining traction over the course of the Draft Process.

He was pretty heavily recruited out of high school, earning a 4-star rating from ESPN and getting offers from schools like Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Florida State, Tennessee, and Florida. Baker ultimately committed to Alabama, and like (almost) all freshmen started out his career as a depth piece. Unfortunately for him, Baker was a depth piece on a historically stacked Alabama receiving position that featured multiple first rounders ahead of him.

Prior to the 2022 season, Baker transferred from Alabama to Central Florida in the hopes of a real chance to play.
