Baldwin City ? For the second-straight week, a Baker University defensive player has been named the Heart of America Athletic Conference’s Football Defensive Player of the Week. This week it is senior linebacker Tucker Pauley.

Pauley was pivotal in the Wildcats 58-0 shutout win at Culver-Stockton on Saturday, as the Grain Valley, Missouri, product picked off two passes and had six tackles.

He also had a tackle for loss, and the defense gave head coach Mike Grossner his largest margin of victory in his 12 years as Baker head coach.

Last week safety Hayden Jenkins took home the Heart Defensive Player of the Week.
