Tyler Biggans has been selected as the Warrior Watch’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending on 10/10/20. Biggans has played a huge role as a freshman this year. He wasn’t supposed to be QB for the Warriors this year, however, due to the main QB suffering a high ankle sprain in a scrimmage earlier in the season, the Warriors had to find a replacement QB. The coaches had to think quickly about who could be QB, and that’s when they turned to Biggans. Biggans last Friday scored the only touchdown for the Warriors. He led the team in rushing and receiving yards against Bellwood-Antis. The Warriors suffered a tough loss against the Blue Devils 44-7.

“Biggans is a solid player all-around, he makes the throws when we need them.” “He’s handling himself pretty well out on the field as a freshman. Nerves can make people act out of place but Biggans don’t seem to be feared by it,” said teammate Kayden Grubbs.
