CLEMSON – Adrian Baker earned the nickname “Prime Time” while he was in high school in his home state of Florida, but it was a nickname he didn’t want. Three years into his Clemson career, Baker is finally getting to play during Prime Time, and it’s something he wants more than anything.
The redshirt sophomore out of Hallandale (FL) Chaminade-Madonna was rated as the No. 197 player nationally by ESPN coming out of high school, but redshirted in 2013 and had one tackle in just 46 snaps in 2014. That should change this season as Baker has climbed the depth chart and firmly sits in the four-man cornerback rotation.
