FARMINGTON, Utah (July 12, 2021) - With the annual Big Sky Football Kickoff just weeks away, we will feature representatives from all 13 teams that will be attending the event on July 24-26 in Spokane, Washington. Next up, we have the Idaho State Bengals.
The Bengals will be represented by quarterback Tyler Vander Waal and linebacker Oshea Trujillo later this month at the Big Sky Football Kickoff.
After transferring to the Bengals last season, Vander Waal had a breakout spring slate after tossing 12 touchdowns and racking up nearly 2,000 yards passing in only six games. Vander Waal was honored as the Big Sky Newcomer of the Year for his efforts, while picking up All-Big Sky Second Team laurels as well.
Entering his fifth year with the Bengals, Trujillo earned 34 tackles in a shortened 2021 spring slate while also getting involved on the offensive side of the ball with over 50 yards rushing. The linebacker racked up 64 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a pair of interceptions in his last full season in 2019.
Idaho State will open the season on Saturday, Sept. 4, as the Bengals host North Dakota.
