Personal
Born in Clermont-Ferrand, France to Sandrine Exbrayat and Gérard Boit… Enjoys playing padel in his free time… Is a big fan of the French artist Tiakola and even named his dog in his honor… Lists Thiago Silva as his favorite athlete… Earned a master’s degree in sport management from Oral Roberts and is working toward a master’s degree in homeland security at San Diego State… Chose to come to San Diego State because of “Coach Hopkins’ playing philosophy, which matches my own vision of the game and will allow me to grow both as a player and a person. The location, climate, and culture of San Diego also made it a very attractive place to pursue both academic and athletic development.”
Coach Hopkins’ Take
“As a two-time All-Summit League performer, Baptiste is a very reliable defender in 1v1 situations and an absolute monster in the air. He can play either side at CB and is very composed passing out of the back to help start our attacks.”
