Kentucky is set to host Alabama transfer Javon Baker for a visit. A significant development. The Atlanta native has vertical playmaking traits and that's some the Wildcats need to add on offense.https://t.co/NnLLKoarvN

Baker played sparingly for Alabama in 2021, recording 7 catches for 101 yards and 1 touchdown.
He was a 4-star receiver out of Georgia in the 2020 class. He has deep-play ability and would be an interesting addition to a Kentucky receiving corps, especially with starting QB Will Levis returning for the 2022 season.
