JEROME BAKER LB, 6-1/205, CLEVELAND, OHIO
Baker made the trip south from Cleveland to see Tennessee and Florida earlier this spring and came away very impressed with the two SEC schools, bumping them into his top group along with Ohio State. Mark Elder has been recruiting Baker for some time now and has built a solid foundation for the Vols, now it's about continuing to build that relationship.
It won't be easy to lure the talented defender out of Ohio with the Buckeyes making him a top target, but the Vols, along with Florida, have made favorable early impressions. Look for official visits to all three schools as he plans to make a decision after his senior season.
