“Martin 'Tiger' Bech
Former Princeton University football player Martin "Tiger" Bech was killed in the New Orleans truck attack, his brother, Jack Bech, confirmed on social media. Tiger Bech, 28, was an All-Ivy League performer, spending three seasons at Princeton from 2016-18.
"Love you always brother," Jack Bech, a Texas Christian University standout, wrote on X. "You inspired me (every day) now you get to be with me in every moment. I got this family T, don't worry. This is for us."
Tiger Bech's death was first announced by Kim Broussard, the athletic director at St. Thomas More Catholic High School in Lafayette, Louisiana, where Tiger Bech attended. Broussard told KLFY, a local news station in Louisiana, that Tiger Bech died late Wednesday morning after he was placed on life support until his family could arrive.
"There was no more appropriate nickname of a Princeton player I coached," Princeton football coach Bob Surace said in an announcement. "He was a 'Tiger' in every way - a ferocious competitor with endless energy, a beloved teammate and a caring friend. Our last conversation was about how proud I was of the growth he showed during his time at Princeton and the success he was having after graduation. My love goes to the entire Bech family."
