Hall of Famer
I'll be posting, as I have time, various outstanding white skill position players from the great state of Missouri. The current top-ranked state team, Webb City, features RB Braxton Baker, who happens to be pigmentally challenged, like most of his team. They still seem to roll over the affletes from other schools, somehow. Here is a youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seGL4H6RhtU
He currently has 1,149 yards on 157 carries (7.32 ypc), a long run of 80 yards, and 20 touchdowns, he's listed at 6'0", 190. He's not listed on any of the caste recruiting sites that I can see. Here is his Lemming notes from MaxPreps:
"He is not the biggest back around but certainly one of the more productive ones. On Filmâ€"Braxton is definitely a workhorse of a back showing excellent quickness, agility, and burst. He has the burst to get outside and cause damage but is also comfortable running between the tackles. He fights for yardage and gets a lot of yards after initial contact. Statsâ€"He had a breakout year in '08 carrying the ball 266 times for 2,002 yds and 23 TDs averaging 7.5 yds per carry on his way to earning conference Offensive Player of the Year honors."
