Clemson defensive back Adrian Baker is transferring, The Clemson Insider learned on Wednesday.
Baker, who started three games for the Tigers in 2015, tore his ACL early in spring practice last year. The Hallandale, Fla., native tried to come back last season, but he was not able to get back on the field on Saturdays despite returning to the practice fields near the end of the 2016 regular season.
Baker is the third player to transfer from Clemson in the last month. Jake Fruhmorgen (offensive tackle) and Tyshon Dye (running back) transferred last month.
Baker produced 15 tackles and two interceptions over 13 games as he earned his first career start against Wofford in the season opener. He also posted three tackles against the Hurricanes, a big moment for the Florida native. He nabbed his first career interception in win over Florida State, another big moment.
He also started against Wake Forest that season and posted four tackles over 42 snaps. He also played 42 snaps at South Carolina, with his second career interception as both interceptions came in the red zone.
After redshirting in 2013, Baker played in four games in 2014.
