A Lansdale Catholic grad and Princeton University alum on a holiday hunting and fishing trip with other college football friends, including best friend and co-worker Tiger Bech, 27, in Louisiana, was injured in the pickup truck attack early Wednesday in New Orleans that unfortunately took the life of Bech.
6abc.com reported the injured as Ryan Quigley, 26, of Lansdale, a 2016 Lansdale Catholic graduate and a 2020 Princeton graduate who worked with Bech at Seaport Global brokerage firm, based in New York City. The snowboard and swimming enthusiast is the son of Paul, of Ocean City, NJ, and Kelley Quigley, of Lower Gwynedd Township, and has two younger siblings, Kyle and Regan.
At Lansdale Catholic, Quigley was a two-time MVP of the Philadelphia Catholic League as running back, wide receiver and punt returner, and a two-time first-team All-Catholic League running back and defensive back. He helped lead the Crusaders to the PCL Championship game.
Bech was a wide receiver at Princeton from 2017 to 2019. He was one of 15 killed in the ramming attack by an ISIS-inspired Army veteran identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a Texas resident and U.S. citizen.
Lansdale Catholic President Meghan Callen told 6abc that the community was incredibly proud of Quigley and were hopeful and praying for his full recovery.
