Coach’s Comment: Bard is the quintessential Swiss army knife on the football field as he can play just about any position that is asked. Bard started varsity as a freshman during the 2024 season and was a key player during the 2025 season, which was a team that made an appearance in the district championship. Bard is a player who is extremely coachable as he only needs to be told a coaching point once for him to get it. We are looking forward to what he can do in his next two seasons in our program.
