Bech, a Lafayette, La., native who began his career at LSU, had a breakout season for the Horned Frogs in 2024. He led the team with career highs in receptions (62), receiving yards (1,034) and touchdowns (9). He continued his climb in Mobile, Ala., with a solid week of practices that earned him the Top WR nod based on a vote of the defensive backs at the Senior Bowl.
