After graduating from Lake View, Baker redshirted as a true freshman with the Abilene Christian University football program.

During his only season as a starter, he threw for 3,376 yards and 35 touchdowns, while rushing for 256 yards and five touchdowns.
After his collegiate career, he played professional indoor football for the Amarillo Venom of the Lone Star Football League and Champions Indoor Football League in 2014 and 2015.
