This comes about a month after Baker, a defensive back and running back at Bellevue (Wash.) High, announced his commitment to Oregon. He made that announcement over Twitter, as well, saying he thought he’d sign with Oregon “for a while.” His commitment was verbal and the first day recruits can sign letters of intent is still weeks away (Feb. 5).

Baker’s ultimate destination is still up in the air, but some signs point to Washington. In an interview with The Seattle Times on Dec. 20 (the day he committed to Oregon), Baker said, “my second choice was probably Washington.” Dave “Softy” Mahler, a Seattle-based radio talk show host, tweeted shortly after Baker’s decommitment that Baker plans on making an official visit to Washington in the next couple of days.

The four-star recruit was also considering UCLA at the time of his commitment to Oregon.

Baker was rated as the No. 4 safety recruit in the country by Scout.com, but Oregon planned on using him on offense, according to the Seattle Times story.

Baker rushed for 600 yards and 12 touchdowns on 35 carries (17.1 yards per carry) during his senior season. On defense, he recorded 59 tackles, three interceptions and three forced fumbles. He also led Bellevue to its sixth consecutive state title.
