Former Missouri defensive coordinator Blake Baker is set to take on the same position at LSU.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Baker will sign a three-year contract worth $2.5 million per year, which makes him the highest-paid assistant in college football. 247Sports insider Matt Zenitz was first to report the news.
Baker, who was a key component of Missouri's successful 11–2 season, will join Brian Kelly’s staff in 2024 despite recently signing an extension to remain with Eliah Drinkwitz and the Tigers.
