Yale DB Drew Baldwin brings veteran-ballhawk energy and All-Ivy pedigree
In the 2011 season, Drew Baldwin was a second-team All-Ivy League defensive back for Yale, finishing with 49 total tackles, 39 solo tackles, a team-high eight pass breakups, one interception, and one fumble recovery[1][13]. His calling card was reliability and range: he was productive as a tackler, disruptive in coverage, and trusted enough to earn Yale’s defensive back-of-the-year award[1]. He also showed playmaking instincts over multiple seasons, which is exactly the kind of seasoned, high-floor defender a team wants if it values toughness, discipline, and veteran leadership[1][5].
