Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas's former Princeton teammate Tiger Bech was killed in the New Orleans truck attack on Wednesday morning.

The school released the news shortly after the horrific crime.

"There was no more appropriate nickname of a Princeton player I coached," Princeton head coach Bob Surace said in a release. "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."

Bech was part of the 2016 and 2018 Ivy League Championship teams. He earned two All-Ivy honors as a return specialist for the Tigers. He also recorded 53 catches for 825 yards and three touchdowns as a wide receiver during his career with Princeton.

He was teammates with Iosivas during the 2018 season and was tragically killed in the attack on Bourbon Street.
