One of the fastest 2026 prospects in the Southeast is Kaj Baker, a dynamic, multi-purpose prospect coming off a recruiting visit with the Pitt Panthers.

The 5-foot-7, 160-pound Miami product is a lightning bolt - having a 10.38 (100m) and a 4.39 (40-yard dash) on record - out of the backfield, the slot, the perimeter, in the return game, and anywhere else he lines up on the field, including cornerback.

That jack-of-all-trades nature shows on the stat sheet.

Last season, he logged 1,653 all-purpose yards. The total included 520 rushing yards, 726 receiving yards, 161 kick-off return yards, and 216 punt return yards, and he marked 19 touchdowns on the season (12 rushing, six receiving, and a punt return score).

This is a really fun prospect on film, Kaj Baker out of Miami.

Has 10.38 speed, dynamic out of the backfield, the slot, out wide, in the return game, at cornerback.

Visited #Pitt late this week.

Baker has an interesting mix of scholarship offers from Duke to Florida State, Louisville, Miami, Pitt, and outside the ACC with Oregon, South Florida, Western Carolina, and others.

To learn more about his trip to Pitt late this week, Inside the Panthers connected with Baker on Friday night.
