Another day, another future Tar Heel making moves with 4-star quarterback [autotag]Bryce Baker[/autotag] earning an invite to Elite 11 finals.

Baker is a part of the 2025 class representing East Forsyth High School, who committed to the UNC football program last June. The Elite 11 has welcomed the best High School quarterbacks around the nation since 1999, allowing young players to showcase their talents among their peers.

Many current NFL QBs have gone through the program including key players like Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Jalen Hurts, and former Tar Heel Sam Howell.

Baker had a phenomenal junior campaign at East Forsyth, leading the high school to a 10-2 record. Baker finished the season with 3,082 passing yards with a completion rate of (66.6%), 39 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Much like recent UNC QBs, Baker is mobile, picking up 233 rushing yards and three touchdowns with his feet.

The Elite 11 will take place this summer in Los Angeles, as the program celebrates its 25th year. The event will last three days, giving prospects a plethora of opportunities to showcase the talents they are bringing to their respective schools.

Class of 2025 UNC football commit named MVP at weekend football camp

Bryce Baker is yet another exciting quarterback prospect who’ll play football for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He arrives before the 2025 campaign.

We’re less than a week out from UNC’s annual Spring Football game, so you can imagine the anticipation is building.

Fans who can make the trip will get a firsthand look at the 2024 roster, with the quarterback battle between Conner Harrell and Max Johnson expected to be amongst the most followed. New transfers will get their first taste at game action in a North Carolina uniform, while we’re bound to see freshman and other first-timers make cases for starting spots.

As is always the case in sports, it’s never too early to look ahead in the future. In this case, we’re talking about the 2025 roster.

While either Harrell or Johnson will sling the football this year, there’s another exciting quarterback prospect coming to Chapel Hill in two seasons.

Bryce Baker, the in-state, 4-star quarterback from East Forsyth (Kernersville, NC) High School, was named Sunday’s Quarterback MVP at the Charlotte, NC Rivals Camp.

If you’re not familiar with Rivals Camp, it’s the top high school football camp series in the country.

Baker shined in his first season as a starting quarterback for the East Forsyth Eagles last year, throwing for 3,082 yards and 39 touchdowns with just three interceptions. He’s not too shabby of a runner either, collecting 233 rushing yards and three more scores.

As he prepares for his final high school season in the fall, Baker hopes to lead East Forsyth to its first 4A NCHSAA State Championship since 2019.
