Bo Bryan Throws for 375 Yards in ESPN Televised First Varsity Start

National TV exposure should boost his college prospects by showcasing his playmaking with Battle Ground Academy’s top receivers.

Overview

  • Bo Bryan made his first varsity start on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, completing 16 of 21 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-18 road win at St. Michael Catholic.
  • He connected repeatedly with Maddox Porter and Maximus Curry, with Porter catching nine passes for 150 yards and Curry scoring on two long touchdown receptions.
  • The game was carried by the ESPN family of networks, giving Bryan rare national visibility for a high school debut and drawing attention beyond normal local coverage.
  • Bryan arrives as a long-time backup who had modest career totals and a mid-tier 2027 recruiting ranking, and this performance could prompt new or increased interest from college programs.
  • Battle Ground Academy’s recent state-championship run and an experienced supporting cast helped create the opportunity for a successful debut and set the context for how the Wildcats use their passing game.
