Balderas Named Modern Woodmen Student-Athlete of the Week

SHERMAN, Texas - Austin College athletics is excited to announce the Modern Woodmen of America Student-Athlete of the Week, an award highlighting our great student-athletes on and off the field of play each week. This week's honoree is 'Roo football player Caleb Balderas.

Balderas, a junior placekicker from Azle, earned national recognition for his outstanding performance last weekend against McMurry, being named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week. That honor came on the heels of being named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following a game in which he went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, all coming from better than 40 yards. His long on the day was 49 yards, which ties him for the ninth longest field goal in SCAC history. His other makes were from 43 and 44 yards.

Modern Woodmen of America is proud to recognize and support the ongoing achievements of Austin College student-athletes. Their North Texas Region understands that the pursuit of excellence on and off the field creates a foundation for continued excellence after graduation.
