Laron Baker Jr Commits to Kansas State

Laron Baker Jr., a blazing-fast wide receiver from East St. Louis, has committed to Kansas State football, choosing the Wildcats over offers from Arizona State and Illinois. Ranked among the top 100 receivers in the 2027 class, Baker dazzled in 2025 with 10 catches for over 240 yards and 3 touchdowns, despite playing on a loaded team. His elite speed — a 4.3-second forty-yard dash — and flawless route-running ability have caught the eye of NFL-caliber coaches. With 25 players now committed to Kansas State’s 2027 class — already among the nation’s best — Baker’s addition signals a major leap forward for the Wildcats as they build a future-ready roster poised to compete at the highest level.
