College GameDay pays heartfelt tribute to Tiger Bech, brother of former LSU WR Jack Bech
Published:
College GameDay aired a touching tribute to Tiger Bech, brother of former LSU wide receiver Jack Bech, who was tragically killed in the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack in New Orleans.
The older Bech was one of 14 victims who passed away after a terrorist rammed a truck through a busy section of the French Quarter. The GameDay tribute went over the life of Tiger and interviewed his family and friends about the impact the 27-year-old made on those around him.
Here’s the tribute from College GameDay:
Like Jack Bech, Tiger was also an accomplished college football player. Tiger played for Princeton from 2016-18 and appeared in 25 games with the team. Bech was an All-Ivy League kick returner in 2017 and 2018 and ended his college career with 508 kick return yards and 388 punt return yards.
After leaving Princeton, Tiger became a stock trader on Wall Street. Bech loved to travel, getting to visit Egypt, Spain, and countless other countries as a young adult.
Tiger’s brother, Jack, originally played for LSU before transferring to TCU in 2023. The WR played for the Horned Frogs in 2023 and 2024, collecting 74 catches for 1,180 yards and 9 touchdowns. Bech is hopeful to be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
