For the second-consecutive week, members of the Drake University football team have been named the Pioneer Football League's Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week.
Sophomore defensive back Alex Rogers (Racine, Wis.) was named the PFL Defensive Player of the Week following his breakout performance in the 43-6 win at Morehead State. Kieran Severa earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his scoop-and-score of a blocked PAT attempt.
Rogers' honor marks the sixth PFL Defensive Player of the Week award for the Bulldogs' nationally ranked defense. At Morehead State, Rogers led a defensive effort that surrendered just six points with a career-high 16 tackles.
