Brandon Baker took his final official visit over the weekend to Nebraska and is set to commit this weekend.
Baker is a five-star prospect, rated the No. 21 player nationally in the 247Sports Composite and No. 24 in the Top247. He’s set to make his commitment this Sunday, Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET) on the 247Sports YouTube Channel.
Baker talked about his weekend official visit to Nebraska and what stood out most for him. “I really enjoyed the atmosphere out there,” Baker said. “I was surprised how much love and support I received but that’s how Nebraska is. “There’s no other school like Nebraska when it comes to fan support. They love the team and really get behind the players and I loved that.”
Baker was hosted by former NorCal standout
Brodie Tagaloa.“We got along great,” Baker said. “All the players were great with me and very welcoming. Everyone I talked with is excited about the new direction the program is going and likes the new coaching staff. “I like coach (Matt) Rhule a lot. I respect him and believe in what he’s building. He’s a great coach and a great leader and he’s going to turn the program around.”
The official visit was Bakers third time visiting the Lincoln campus this year and he said his comfort level on campus is very strong.
"I know the school really well and already did all the campus tours and seen the facilities," Baker said. "This visit was more about being around the players and coaches. "I'm close with coach (Donovan) Raiola and connect really well with him. He's from Hawaii so we have that Poly connection. It's just a lot of great people at Nebraska, a lot of people who take pride in bringing the program back and I'm thankful to everyone there for how I was treated."
As mentioned, Baker is set to make his commitment this weekend. Along with the Huskers, his final five includes Florida State, Ohio State, Oregon and Texas.
He took official visits to the Buttguys and Longhorns, in addition to Nebraska, and unofficial visits to Florida State and Oregon. The Longhorns have a lot of the buzz right now heading into his announcement.
