Terry Baker Biography

Terry Baker is a former professional quarterback, and the 1962 Heisman Trophy Winner, playing for the Oregon State Beavers. Baker played three years for the Beavers, proving to be a dual threat as a QB, posting gaudy numbers over his career. Throwing for 3,476 yards and 23 touchdowns while also rushing for 1,503 yards and 15 touchdowns, Baker was a true force at QB. Baker was named the Heisman Trophy winner in 1962, a season in which he also won the Maxwell Award, The Sportsman of the Year award, All-American Honors, and many more prestigious honors. This phenomenal collegiate performance led to Baker being drafted by the Los Angeles Rams with the first pick of the 1963 NFL Draft. Baker would struggle in the NFL, throwing four interceptions and no touchdowns over his rocky three seasons with the Rams. After leaving the NFL in 1965, Baker would go on to play for the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL in 1966, leaving after only a year. In 1982, Baker would be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, leaving a permanent impact on the NCAA for years to come. Baker is now a retired attorney, and enjoys his retirement while living in Oregon.
