Baker discusses latest Iowa visit

Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson running back Cameron Baker's visit for the Ohio State game continued to sell him on the Hawkeye program.

“It was great and I had a lot of fun," said Baker. "The energy was amazing to be able to see a big upset was really cool. (I am) looking forward to another trip. I also liked how the fans were almost recruiting me themselves when I'd walk around the stadium.”

Baker felt that his favorite part of the trip was a single play.

“Being able to see that amazing interception from Joshua Jackson," Baker said. "He's a beast.”

There was one comment made by an Iowa coach that meant a lot to Baker.

“Coach Morgan said that I am a football player and that that is one of the biggest compliments I could receive from a coach.”

Baker continues to speak highly of what he has seen with the Hawkeyes.

“I love it," he said. "I feel welcomed there and I like how at Iowa they want to not only make great athletes but great people.”

One other in-state program has gotten Baker on campus as well.

“I've made a couple to Iowa State and I don't have any planned yet.”

Baker is limited this off-season with surgery ahead for him.

“I tore my labrum. (I have) no idea when. I've just been having problems with it for a couple years.”

The direction of his high school football team has Baker confident going forward.

“We came up short of the playoffs by a couple of games so we were disappointed, but we have a lot of developing young players for next year.”
