Four-star running back Carsyn Baker committed to the Florida Gators in June 2025. Once the Gators fired Billy Napier, Baker began taking visits to other schools. He made treks to Kentucky, South Carolina and North Carolina in November. This afternoon, though, he decided he’d start his collegiate career in the Lone Star State.
Texas A&M announced Thursday that Baker has signed with the Aggies. The Fairburn, GA native ran for 1,282 yards on 124 carries (8.8 yards per carry) at Langston Hughes High School in his senior season.
Baker is the No. 211 overall player in 247Sports Composite rankings of the 2026 class. The 247Sports Composite lists him as the No. 15 running back and No. 23 player from Georgia.
At 6-foot-1, 195 lbs., Baker is speed demon. He reportedly ran multiple 10.6 second 100-meter dashes as a junior. In time, his impact on Texas A&M’s offense could resemble that of DeVon Achane, who ran for 1,102 yards in 2022. No Aggie has reached 800 rushing yards — let alone 1,000 yards — since Achane did so that season.
Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class currently ranks ninth in the country and fifth in the SEC. Baker and KJ Edwards (No. 46 overall in the 247Sports Composite) are the lone running back commits of Mike Elko‘s 26-man group. The Aggies (11-1, 7-1 SEC) will learn who they’ll be facing in the College Football Playoff on Sunday, Dec. 7.
