TY VAN DYKEN

 Lynden Christian – Senior – #8

5’10” 175 lbs – QB/DB


88-of-181 passing – 1078 yards – 10 touchdowns

93 carries – 379 yards – 2 touchdowns

37 tackles – 3 interceptions – 59 yards – 1 forced fumble – 1 fumble recovery

Brilliantly ran the read-option. It doesn’t hurt to have someone like Jordan Riddle in the backfield with you. Ran for 100 yards and tossed three touchdown passes at Nooksack Valley when the Lyncs topped the Pioneers. Got to top speed quickly. An awesome playmaker at free safety, whether it was picking off passes (he led the team with 3, and averaged almost 20 yards per return) or when it was lowering the boom on opposing backs and receivers. Was named All-Conference 1st Team at defensive back.
