Tennessee defensive end James Pearce Jr. will receive a ton of attention as a top-10 prospect over the next nine months, but his former teammate makes this list as a player to watch after transferring to Miami.
Baron, a 6-5, 260-pound edge rusher, had six sacks last season but is primed to break out, according to scouts who know the Hurricanes.
"They are jacked about this guy," said an AFC East scout. "Coaches there think he can be this year's Laiatu Latu as a transfer who quickly dominates and blows up."
Comparing Baron to the first defensive player drafted in 2024 is a lofty aspiration, but the flashes were there on his tape at Tennessee. It also helps that he left Tennessee with four years of experience, along with 29.5 tackles for loss in his career. If the Hurricanes can get more consistency from Baron, he has shown the savvy pass-rush moves needed to move into the Round 1 discussion.
