D’Monn Baker enters his fifth season on the Vulcans’ coaching staff in 2011, serving as the tight ends coach. Baker, a former two-year starter at tight end for Cal U, has been a part of four-straight NCAA Playoff teams.
Last season, he coached a group of tight ends led by sophomore Blake Williamson. An All-PSAC West First-Team selection last year, Williamson is a preseason All-America candidate in 2011. Baker previously coached another All-PSAC West tight end in Cory Garver, who set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards as a senior.
As a player in 2006, Baker earned All-PSAC West Second-Team laurels after catching two touchdowns and serving as a blocker for former All-American running back Antoine Bagwell.
Prior to attending Cal U, Baker earned two letters at Division I Bowling Green State. In his two years at Bowling Green, the Falcons compiled a 17-6 record under then-head coach Urban Meyer, who eventually won the 2006 and 2008 National Championship at Florida.
Following his senior season, Baker played for Team USA, which won the gold medal in Japan at the 2007 World Championship.
