Things changed for Kendall Baker during the summer.
Baker, a fourth-year junior, spent his first three years at Georgia as a reserve. He redshirted as a true freshman and then found himself in a backup role the next two years. Especially early on in his career, this was a difficult position to be in. Like any college athlete at a Power 5 program, Baker saw plenty of playing time and accolades in high school.
He wasn’t used to sitting on the bench.
Over the summer, however, Baker was determined to change that narrative. He didn’t want to be a backup any longer.
