This past weekend, Tennessee football hosted its class of 2027 quarterback commit, Derrick Baker, for an official visit. Baker, who was one of the first in the boat for the Vols, has stayed locked in with UT and got another look this weekend.
Baker was on campus with a number of big-name recruits and commits. The seemingly successful weekend featured priority five-star running back David Gabriel Georges, as well, whom Josh Heupel and Tennessee are making a huge push for to try to top Ohio State.
Over the course of the weekend, UT also landed multiple commitments. This featured local four-star tight end Malik Howard, three-star cornerback Dylan Haley and junior college defensive lineman Christian Mays.
Baker committed to the Vols on Feb. 11, 2026. Since then, he’s added offers from SEC squads South Carolina and Georgia. Other teams that have extended offers in his recruitment include Virginia Tech, Florida State, Virginia, Illinois, Auburn, Ohio State, TCU, Mississippi State, West Virginia, Miami, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Indiana and more Power Four programs.
Baker ranks as the No. 731 player in the cycle, via 247 Composite. He is the No. 40 quarterback and No. 89 player from the state of Georgia, as well. He is from Alpharetta and plays for Milton High School.
