Five-star OT Brandon Baker sets commitment date, Texas emerging as favorite

Texas is the favorite to land the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country.

Five-star offensive tackle Brandon Baker has set a commitment date for Sept. 24.

Shortly after the commitment date was announced, On3’s Justin Wells and Gerry Hamilton entered recruiting predictions in favor of the Longhorns to land Baker.

The California native is rated the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country for the 2024 recruiting class and the No. 2 overall prospect in the state, according to 247Sports composite.

Oregon appears to be Texas’ biggest competition in Baker’s recruitment at this time, with Ohio State and Nebraska are looking to make a strong push over the next two weeks.
