The Maryland football team will hire former New York Giants assistant defensive backs coach Henry Baker as cornerbacks coach, according to a source familiar with the situation.
ProStar Coaching sports agency tweeted Thursday that Baker is a new client and will be coaching at Maryland, where he played defensive back from 1994 to 1997. He fills the lone remaining vacancy on second-year coach Mike Locksley’s staff after Cory Robinson, the cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game coordinator in 2019, left this offseason to take a job as a defensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints.
Baker spent the past season with the Giants on Pat Shurmur’s staff but was not retained when new coach Joe Judge was hired in January.
