“Love you always brother! You inspired me every day and now you get to be with me all the time. I found this family T, don’t worry. This is for us,” he wrote.
Tiger Bech was one of 15 people killed in the attack on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Eve.
The New Orleans forward played for Princeton from 2016-2018 and was an All-Ivy League kick returner. During his three-year career, he had 53 catches for 825 yards with three touchdowns.
He graduated from university in 2021 and is working in finance. He worked as a stockbroker in New York City but returned home to Louisiana for the holidays.

Both Bechs played high school football at St. Thomas More.
“Teger was one of a kind,” said the principal of St. Thomas More Marty Cannon told NOLA.com. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do the things that Tiger can do on the football field. I’ve seen a lot of good ones at St. Thomas and I’ve seen a lot more when I played college football.
“The tiger could do unexplainable things with that kind of body and that short trunk, but all that power.”
Trevor Begue, who played with Bech in high school, told the newspaper that he saw the player on Monday and talked about the younger Bech.
“He was a great player and a great person. We all looked up to him. He was the best receiver in the room,” Begue said, adding that he was a “humble man.”
