Baker, who didn\u2019t appear in a game in either of his two seasons with the Horned Frogs, announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Saturday evening. The 6-foot-3, 170-pound receiver from Brownsboro, Texas was one of three four-star recruits in the 2024 class and is the second to leave the program in the last two years. Hauss Hejny departed the program for Oklahoma State late last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Baker\u2019s departure means that TCU has now lost three of its top five recruits from the 2024 class. Running back Nate Palmer, the program\u2019s fifth-best recruit of the 2024 class, opted for the transfer portal less than a week ago. Sophomore running back Jeremy Payne remains as the only four-star recruit on the roster from the 2024 class. Prior to signing with the Horned Frogs, Baker held offers from Auburn, Tennessee, Kansas State, Texas A&amp;M and more. A multi-sport athlete at Brownsboro, Baker was Brownsboro\u2019s career leader in receptions (147), receiving yards (2,616), touchdowns (30) and single-game receiving yards (253).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The TCU Horned Frogs are set to lose their No. 1 recruit of the 2024 class, redshirt freshman&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":476882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,1358,1428,7371,7372,80190,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-476881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-big-12-football","10":"tag-college-football","11":"tag-fort-worth","12":"tag-fortworth","13":"tag-tcu-football","14":"tag-texas","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115796697618927275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
