Mini bio
How it started.
Baker grew up in Austin and led Lake Travis High School to a Texas state championship in 2011. He walked on at Texas Tech in 2013 and won the starting quarterback job, then transferred to Oklahoma and sat out the 2014 season under transfer rules.
The Oklahoma breakthrough.
He became Oklahoma’s starter in 2015 and won the Heisman Trophy in 2017. He was the first Heisman winner to have started his college career as a walk-on since athletic scholarships began in the 1950s.
Finding his place in the NFL.
Cleveland selected him first overall in 2018. He helped the Browns earn their first playoff win in 26 years in the 2020 season, then played for Carolina and the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. He signed with Tampa Bay in March 2023 and earned Pro Bowl invitations after each of his first two seasons there.
Beyond game day.
Fans have also seen Baker and his wife Emily in Progressive’s At Home With Baker Mayfield commercials. In 2023 they launched their foundation, whose work includes scholarships and community events. His 2026 projects include Netflix’s Quarterback and a co-created Every Man Jack grooming collection.
