Also named to PennLive's Mid-Penn Conference All-Decade Team in 2020, Baylor-Carroll turned in one of the most historic high school careers in recent memory, racking up a school-record 1,632 points at Milton Hershey en route to leading the Spartans to a district title and PIAA semifinal appearance. The Harrisburg, Pa. native led the Mid-Penn Conference in scoring during his senior year and was a PIAA 5A All-State selection in 2018 when he was named the PennLive Mid-Penn Conference Player of the Year.


During his four seasons at Penn State Harrisburg, Baylor-Carroll was one of the nation's top players while turning in the most decorated career in program history. Following his senior campaign, the versatile guard was named a consensus all-American, earning plaudits from both the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and D3hoops.com, and was selected to the 2024 NABC — Reese's Division III College All-Star Game.

The program's all-time leading scorer (1,973 points), he completed his career as the NCAA Division III active 3-point leader and holds program records for 3-point field goals (352) and steals (261).
