was named Sun Belt Conference Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week for the second time in his career after leading the Panthers' strong defensive effort at No. 9 Wisconsin.
The senior from Sherman Oaks, Calif., collected 11 tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup to help the Panthers hold a 17-13 fourth-quarter lead before falling 23-17. The defense kept the Panthers close despite playing without three starting defensive linemen.
Baker's pass breakup came as the Badgers had third-and-four at the GSU 23-yard line on their first drive and forced Wisconsin to settle for a field goal.
With Georgia State holding a 6-0 lead in the second quarter, the defense held despite a short field for the Badgers, who took over at the GSU 23 after a fumbled snap.
