If you're searching for the secret to success, you may want to ask Augustana cornerback Todd Baldwin. A member of two conference championship teams and the owner of a 3.97 GPA, Baldwin resembled the epitome of success for a collegiate career.

A perennial Dean's List member, Baldwin earned Verizon Academic All-America First Team and Academic All-Conference honors in 2001. Ranking near the top of his class academically, he continued to strive towards graduating with honors in November 2002, earning a degree in Finance & Economics.

A two-year team captain and three-year starter, Baldwin helped anchor a defensive unit that has helped Augustana to two conference championships and second round advancements in the NCAA Division III playoffs. Possessing the speed of a running back and the soft hands of a wide receiver, he led the conference with five interceptions in 2000 and currently ranks among the school's career leaders with eight. 

A standout athlete, Baldwin also excelled in track and field - placing second in the conference in the javelin in 2002. He was a member of the Campus Ministries Committee, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Augustana Dance Company and volunteered as a football camp counselor.
