A month until the day Tiger Bech was killed in the terrorist attack in New Orleans, his brother engraved his name in the history of the bowl.
Jack Bech, a wide receiver to TCU, caught the winning touch in the Senior Bowl on Saturday at the expiration of time and was appointed MVP of the match.
“My brother has wings on me. He gave them to me, and he let it all happen. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Tiger, nothing other than them. This is the reason why I did what I did today. I assign them all of this, “said Jack after the match.
Tiger, who played university football in Princeton, was one of the 14 victims killed in the early hours of the New Year on Bourbon Street.
The native of New Orleans played for Princeton from 2016 to 2018 and was a turner of League Evy League. During his three -year career, he captured 53 passes for 825 yards with three affected.
He graduated from the university in 2021 and pursued a career in finance.
He worked as a broker in securities in New York but returned home to Louisiana for the holidays.
Jack said that his success this week will improve his draft stock, he would exchange everything for a fraternal hug.
“It’s surreal to be able to come and be in this match. This is a goal you set. But if I had the possibility if I came here, spending the worst week of all time, ruined my draft stock, but that means that I could kiss my brother right now, I would take that.
“But, from the back of the medal, I don’t think I could have had the week I had if all this would not have happened. His wings were on my side. He and Jesus Christ are the reasons why I have been able to do all of this, “he said.
“All that the big brother does in life is wanting to see his little brother succeed. It was my model all my life, the person I admired, the person I wanted to be. He was the best big brother I could ask. All my goal in the rest of my life is to live your heritage. »»
Jack was part of the American team who won the 22-19 victory.
