Tops name Pigrome starter for season opener at Louisville

Western Kentucky has announced its starting quarterback.

After watching two weeks of practice and reviewing film from Saturday’s first fall scrimmage, Tyrrell “Piggy T” Pigrome was named the Hilltoppers’ starting quarterback leading into the Sept. 12 season opener at Louisville.

“I think he’s done a really good job of handling the offense. You’ve heard me say and (offensive coordinator Bryan) Ellis say a lot that part of playing the position is just managing the position, mastering the play, making sure everybody is in the right position,” WKU head coach Tyson Helton said Wednesday in a Zoom conference.
