BREAKING: 4-Star RB Carsyn Baker Commits to Florida Gators After Eye-Opening Official Visit to Gainesville
The Florida Gators just landed a major offensive weapon. Four-star running back Carsyn Baker announced his commitment to the Gators following a standout official visit to Gainesville — a huge win for Billy Napier and his staff as they continue building a dangerous 2025 class.
Baker, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound back from Texas, is ranked among the top running backs in the nation and had garnered interest from powerhouse programs like Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and LSU. However, it was his trip to The Swamp that sealed the deal. From facilities and academics to the coaching staff and atmosphere, Baker left Gainesville feeling like he had found a true home.
“The energy, the brotherhood, the plan Coach Napier has — it just felt right,” Baker said after making his decision. “Florida believed in me, and I believe in them. I’m ready to be a Gator.”
Baker brings a versatile skillset to Florida’s backfield. Known for his explosive first step, sharp vision, and pass-catching ability out of the backfield, he projects as a dynamic three-down back at the next level. His commitment adds speed, power, and depth to an already talented offensive group.
The Gators’ staff played a key role in landing the Texas standout. Running backs coach Jabbar Juluke built a strong relationship with Baker throughout the recruiting process, making Gainesville feel like more than just another visit.
With this commitment, Florida continues to make serious noise on the recruiting trail and now holds one of the more balanced and promising classes in the SEC. Baker’s pledge not only fills a key need in the 2025 cycle but also sends a message: the Gators are reloading — and fast.
Stay tuned, because Gainesville is heating up.
