I’ve been pretty critical of his play recently, but if this is his last conference game as a Buckeye, he picked a great game to have his best performance. Well done.

Football: Ohio State linebacker Jerome Baker declares early for the NFL draft
Ohio State will have to replace a member of its linebacker corps for the second year in a row because of an early entree into the NFL draft.
Junior linebacker Jerome Baker announced his intentions to enter the 2018 NFL Draft Monday afternoon on Twitter in a letter addressed to “Buckeye Nation.”
“After a considerable amount of time and endless conversations with my loved ones, I have decided to forgo my senior year at Ohio State University to pursue my childhood dream of playing professional football,” Baker wrote.
Baker was a two-year starter at Ohio State, having burst onto the scene during his sophomore season in 2016 when he finished second on the team with 83 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss, and finished tied for third with 3.5 sacks. He also had two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown.
In 2017, however, Baker didn’t see the same success. He struggled against the pass and at defending opposing tight ends. He led the team this season with 72 tackles and had eight tackles for loss and three sacks, but his ability to defend the pass will be highly scrutinized throughout the draft process.
He finished the Cotton Bowl with five tackles and 1/2 sack.

Re: With today’s NFL putting a premium on versatile defenders who can stay on the field for all three downs, Baker is the kind of linebacker prospect who will be in high demand come April. Following in the footsteps of teammate Raekwon McMillan, look for Baker to come off the board in the first two rounds.

I'm guessing a late 2nd or 3rd round pick. If so, he probably made the right decision.
Good Luck in the NFL!!!

Obviously I wish him the best and will miss him here, but I really think out of everyone on the team, Baker could have benefited the most from coming back. I hope he tears it up at the combine and works his way up the draft boards.

I don't think his stock could be any higher - he already led the team in tackles and really made statements in the Cotton Bowl and B1G CCG. Get paid and good luck.

Wish him well. Tuf and Malik proved solid this year. Certainly, with all the talent we have at LB someone will step up and stand out.

Really wish he would've stayed because I thought overall his year didn't go to plan... but in the one game he missed this season we probably had our most complete defensive performance of the year.
I really like Borland and Harrison... Lots of chatter about Werner and Browning too so there's lots of options.
I've kind of given up on Booker but I hope he can find his game for his final year here.
