Out for 2025 season Baker (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2025 season, per Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader.
Impact Baker was knocked out of Louisiana Tech's loss to Delaware in the first quarter and did not return. Now, it's official: the starting gunslinger will miss the rest of the Bulldogs season with a torn ACL. It's a brutal blow, obviously, but now, Louisiana Tech will turn to Trey Kukuk at quarterback. Kukuk has thrown for 297 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions this season while picking up 134 rushing yards as well.

Doesn't return after injury Baker (undisclosed) did not return after suffering a first-quarter injury in Saturday's 25-24 loss to Delaware.
Impact Baker went down with an unknown injury against the Hens, and it was serious enough for him to stay sidelined. The starting quarterback completed four of seven passes for 41 yards before his departure. He'll aim to get back to full health before next Saturday's away game at Washington State.
NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers injury Saturday Baker (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Saturday's matchup versus Delaware, per Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader.
Impact Baker has yet to return to the game after suffering an injury late in the fourth quarter. Evan Bullock has taken over at quarterback while Baker remains sidelined.

Clay Thevenin, Blake Baker propel Louisiana Tech to 55-14 victory over Sam Houston

Clay Thevenin rushed for 143 yards and three scores, Blake Baker had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run and Louisiana Tech breezed to a 55-14 victory over Sam Houston
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press
Two TDs, INT Baker went 17-for-21 for 221 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Sam Houston on Friday. He also ran seven times for 42 yards and a touchdown.
Impact This is pretty much par for the course for Baker. He's yet to throw for more than one touchdown in a game, but he does some damage with his legs and has three rushing scores. Really Baker's job is to keep the offense moving, and the Bulldogs are now one win away from bowl eligibility.
OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Throws TD, INT Baker went 31-for-45 for 340 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against WKU on Tuesday. He also ran 10 times for 49 yards.
Impact Baker bounced back, and then some, after getting banged up. He's only thrown four touchdowns against two picks, but he wasn't starting for the entirety of the season. Plus, he's added 219 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Available vs. Western Kentucky Baker (undisclosed) is off Louisiana Tech's injury report ahead of Tuesday night against Western Kentucky.
Impact Baker was considered day-to-day as of last Friday, but the starting quarterback is good to go against the Hilltoppers. Baker has tossed for 659 yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions while completing 61.0 percent of his passes.
OCTOBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Status day-to-day Baker (undisclosed) is day-to-day before Tuesday's game against Western Kentucky, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.
Impact Baker's latest game, both Week 7 at Kennesaw State and a start, barely includes more than 10 pass attempts. According to Belinson, an undisclosed injury is why the quarterback's aforementioned stats are limited. The subsequent report indicates that despite Baker being day-to-day, he may be available when Louisiana Tech and Western Kentucky log their upcoming game.

Rushes for 35 yards Baker went 6-for-11 for 46 yards and ran six times for 35 yards against Kennesaw State on Thursday.
Impact The Louisiana Tech coaching staff has been restless about quarterbacks in the past, and that seems to have reared its head again. Three different players saw time under center in this game, creating real questions going forward.
OCTOBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Turnovers raise concerns Baker went 18-for-26 for 137 yards, one touchdown, and one pick against UTEP on Saturday. He also lost two fumbles.
Impact Louisiana Tech looks legit this year, and Baker has been at the helm for the last few games. However, three turnovers, even in a win, is concerning. With a bye coming up, the Bulldogs staff will probably think long and hard about returning Trey Kukuk to the starting role.

Rushes for TD Baker went 15-for-21 for 239 yards and ran 13 times for 29 yards and a score against USM on Saturday.
Impact Even though Trey Kukuk (undisclosed) was healthy enough to play, Baker saw every snap under center. He was efficient through the air, and the Bulldogs picked up their third win of the season. Expect Baker to be the guy going forward.

Even though Trey Kukuk (undisclosed) is ready to roll, Baker will get the starting nod after his impressive relief appearance last week.
