While UNC looked anything like a stellar team over the weekend, their Class of 2025 quarterback commit looked the best he has all season. The ironic part about the situation is that UNC has had such a quarterback controversy over the past three weeks of play.
Bryce Baker, a four-star quarterback our of Kernersville, North Carolina, put his talents on display over the weekend as his high school, East Forsyth, took to the road to take on Reagan High School.
They ended up dominating the game, winning 69-21 in a conference matchup. Baker threw for 213 yards and four touchdowns in the win while also running six times for 18 yards.

Baker completed 17 passes seeing just one of his 18 attempts fall to the ground in an incompletion. The near-perfect outing for Baker adds to the stellar play that the quarterback has had to begin his senior year.
Baker is now up to 1,288 yards and 14 touchdowns with one interception this year. He has completed 79% of his passes which is up from 66.6% last season. He is also averaging 65 yards per game more than he did in his junior year.
The future is bright at the quarterback position for North Carolina.
